Applications are opened for the Einstein Fellowship in Germany for 2022. The Einstein Forum and the Daimler and Benz Foundation in Germany are offering this fellowship for outstanding young thinkers who wish to pursue a project in a different field from that of their previous research.
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.
Due to the COVID-19 epidemic the current Einstein Fellow will not be able to take up residence in Caputh before next year. Therefore, the following fellowship will be awarded for 2022 rather than 2021. All applications that have already been submitted will be considered in the next selection round.
