Einstein Fellowship Details

The Albert Einstein Fellowship supports creative, interdisciplinary thought by giving young scholars the chance to pursue research outside their previous area of work.

The fellowship was previously awarded by the Einstein Forum and the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius (2007 – 2009), since 2010 the fellowship has been awarded by the Einstein Forum and the Daimler and Benz Foundation.

The purpose of the fellowship is to support those who, in addition to producing superb work in their area of specialization, are also open to other, interdisciplinary approaches – following the example set by Albert Einstein.

Interested and qualified applicants are encouraged to seize this opportunity and submit their application as soon as possible.
