International Award of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation
The Helmholtz Association and the Humboldt Foundation jointly confer up to six research awards annually on internationally acknowledged scientists from abroad in recognition of their research achievements to date.
Scientists and scholars who are nominated for a Helmholtz Humboldt Research Award must have contributed fundamental discoveries, new theories, or insights that have a significant impact on their own research area and also reach beyond their specialized field of research. Nominees should be active researchers who are expected to continue to produce outstanding academic achievements in future.
Award winners are invited to carry out research projects of their own choice in the fields of Energy, Earth and Environment, Health, Key Technologies, Structure of Matter, and Aeronautics, Space and Transport in cooperation with German scientists at one of the 15 member-centres of the Helmholtz Association for a period of six months up to one year. At least one further partner from a German university is to be integrated in the research project.
The Helmholtz Humboldt Research Award amounts to 60,000 euros. An additional amount of 25,000 euros is made available by the Helmholtz Association if the awardee accepts the invitation to undertake research in Germany. This additional funding aims, in particular, to facilitate cooperation with the university partner.
