Leibniz - DAAD Research Fellowship 2016
The
Leibniz – DAAD Research Fellowship programme is jointly carried out by the Leibniz
Association (Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz e.V.) and the
German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Leibniz-DAAD fellowships offer highly-qualified,
international postdoctoral researchers, who have recently completed their doctoral
studies, the opportunity to conduct research at a Leibniz Institute of their
choice in Germany.
The
Leibniz Association
The Leibniz Association is an umbrella
organisation currently consisting of 88 independent research institutions
located throughout Germany. It has an annual budget of over €1.6 billion. More
than 18,100 people are employed at Leibniz Institutes, 9,100 of whom are scientists
working in the humanities and educational sciences, the social sciences, economics,
business administration, regional and life sciences, as well as in mathematics,
the natural sciences, engineering and environmental research. All Leibniz
Institutes have an interdisciplinary approach. They conduct problem-oriented
research and provide scientific infrastructures of national and international
significance. Leibniz Institutes foster close cooperation with universities,
other research institutes, and industry in Germany and abroad.
Leibniz researchers uphold the highest standards
of excellence. Their aim is to offer research-based solutions to current
challenges facing society. The Leibniz Association has developed a
comprehensive system of quality management: Independent experts assess each
institute at regular intervals. Leibniz Institutes contribute to clusters of
excellence in fields such as mathematics, optical technologies, materials
research, bio-medical research, environmental research, bio- and
nanotechnology, as well as biodiversity, economic policy, and educational
research.
The Leibniz Association is structured into five
scientific sections. Further information is available online at http://www.leibniz-association.eu
DAAD
The DAAD is the largest funding organisation in
the world supporting the international exchange of students and scholars. Since
it was founded in 1925, more than 1.5 million scholars in Germany and abroad
have received DAAD funding. It is a registered association and its members are
German institutions of higher education and student bodies. In addition to awarding
grants and scholarships, it supports the internationalisation of German universities,
promotes German studies and the German language abroad, assists developing countries
in establishing effective universities and advises decision-makers on matters
of cultural, education and development policy. Its budget (approx. €440 million
in 2014) is derived mainly from the federal funding for various ministries,
primarily the German Federal Foreign Office, but also from the European Union
and a number of other enterprises, organisations and foreign governments. The
DAAD runs over 250 programmes, through which it funds more than 74,000 German
and foreign scholars worldwide each year. Further information is available
