The Office of Sponsored Research is pleased to invite early career faculty members, senior PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows to an outreach session focusing on the available programs sponsored by the Alexander von Humboldt (AvH) Foundation. Guest speaker, Alex Kuznetsov (Humboldt Foundation Liaison Office in Canada) will presenting information on funding opportunities in Germany.
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation grants research fellowships and research awards to highly qualified scholars and scientists from all countries and from all fields of research.
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation provides fully funded opportunities for young scholars (within 12 years of attaining a Ph.D.) to visit Germany and carry out research with German scholars for varying lengths of time. It is ideal for a post-doctoral fellowship experience or that first sabbatical leave for new faculty. The presentation will outline some of the unique funding opportunities and there will be Humboldt scholars from McGill in attendance to share their own experiences.
The programs of the Humboldt Foundation fall into two categories: There are programs for scholars and scientists who are resident outside of Germany when they apply, and there are programs for scholars and scientists who are resident in Germany at the time of application.
This Interactive Information Session organized by the Humboldt Foundation Liaison Office in Canada, and McGill University introduces the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation to potential researchers and gives them insights into what kind of research and funding opportunities are available for talented researchers.
*Coffee/tea and light snacks will be served.*
