| Supporting Humboldt Scholars
The Humboldt Foundation encourages the lifelong connection to the Foundation and among scholars whose research the Foundation supports. It offers a number of follow-up opportunities to enable Humboldtians to maintain their professional relationships with Germany and with one another. These are some of the highlights.
Renewed Research Stays:
Former Humboldt Fellows and German Chancellor Fellows can apply to return to Germany for renewed research stays of up to three months.
Humboldt Kollegs:
Funding is available for Humboldtians to organize regional and interdisciplinary conferences on topics of their choice. Humboldtians and potential applicants to Humboldt programs should be among the participants.
Humboldt Network Online:
The Humboldt family now has over 24,000 members world-wide. The Humboldt Network Online makes it easy to search for, and to stay in touch with, colleagues around the globe. Have you moved? Taken a new position? Changed your field or specialization? By logging on, you can update your personal profile. The Foundation prefers that you use this method (rather than email or mail) to update your contact information. To log on to the Network Online or to register as a first-time user, click here.
American Friends Support for Alumni Activities:
Our office maintains a database of all Humboldtians in the U.S., and if any Humboldtian wishes to organize a gathering for social, cultural, or professional exchange, please contact the office. We can provide contact information for Humboldtians at a university, institution, organization, or in a geographic area such as a city or state. We can also provide informational materials describing Humboldt Foundation programs and grant opportunities.
The Alumni Council of the American Friends Board of Directors offers grants toward the expenses for activities that serve to maintain and increase the intellectual and social interactions among US Humboldtians. Inquiries about financial support should be submitted in advance of the gathering and should include the proposed program. Support grants will be considered after we receive a brief report on the program and a list of participants. For further information about the Alumni Council grants click here. To apply for an alumni council grant click here.
Proposals for funding should be submitted well ahead of the anticipated event or activity. Significant flexibility exists for the types and events to be funded. The Alumni Council is looking for innovative ideas to support its goals and objectives to the benefit of the family of Humboldt alumni.
