Albert Einstein Scholarship 2022 for Outstanding Young Scientists (EUR 10,000): (Deadline 15 May 2021)

Applications are open for the Albert Einstein Scholarship 2022. With the scholarship, the Einstein Forum and the Daimler and Benz Foundation want to offer outstanding young scientists from Germany and abroad the opportunity to carry out a research project that is outside of their previous work.

The aim of the scholarship is to support those young universalists who – like Albert Einstein – are not only characterized by their exceptional achievements in a specific scientific field, but also by their interdisciplinary commitment.

The scholarship is linked to a stay in the summer house of Einstein’s summer house in Caputh, which lasts between five and six months. The Einsteinhaus is a place of significance in terms of both science and architecture history, with connections to the universities of Potsdam and Berlin.

Benefits

  • The scholarship holder receives a grant of EUR 10,000 as well as the travel expenses incurred. The grant is intended to cover living expenses and project expenses incurred during your fellowship period.

Eligibility

  • Applicants should be under 35 years of age
  • Have a qualified university degree in a humanities, social or natural science subject.
  • Your proposed project must not be part of your dissertation or thesis, and the application documents must be in English. Otherwise, there are no limitations on the project you may propose as long as you can defend your idea as interesting, original, and feasible during the fellowship period. Please also consider whether the facilities available to you would suitably allow you to pursue your project.

Evaluation Criteria

The evaluation of the applications takes place according to the quality, originality and feasibility of the project proposals as well as according to the scientific background of the applicant. It does not matter here whether a doctorate has already been started or completed. The proposed project does not have to be completed within the given timeframe, but can serve as a starting point for a new, longer project.

Application

The applications for 2022 should contain a CV and an exposé of the activities planned under the grant project (both in English) and include two academic references.

Master’s programmes, internships, mentoring, networking events and further
