Overview (Apply for Georg Forster Research Fellowship for Sustainable Development 2025 by The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation)
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation grants the Georg Forster Research Fellowship to researchers in all disciplines from developing and emerging countries (see list of countries, PDF) who have above-average qualifications. We particularly welcome applications from female scientists.
With this fellowship the Humboldt Foundation acknowledges the important role of researchers from these countries in achieving the UN’s 17 sustainable development goals and thus provides them with sponsorship that is equivalent to the Humboldt Research Fellowship.
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation aims to achieve a good balance between genders and a high level of diversity among its fellows in all areas. As the Georg Forster programme is intended to actively contribute to achieving UN Sustainable Development Goal 5 (gender equality), we particularly encourage women to apply. We also expressly welcome applications from Least Developed Countries (LDC) as defined by the UN. We generally welcome all applications regardless of ethnic, cultural or social background, gender identity, age, religion, worldview, disability or sexual orientation.
