Overview
Since 1996, these fellowships have been awarded by the Foundation for Polish Science to eminent German scholars. A scheme of outstanding importance, it is the equivalent of Humboldt-Forschungspreise, the prestigious award granted by the well-known Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung of Germany to eminent foreign scholars. It is intended as a form of appreciation for the outstanding achievements of its beneficiaries, at the same time being aimed at stimulating long-term co-operation between Polish and German scholars.
The Honorary Fellowships are awarded based on an agreement made in 1995 between the FNP and the Humboldt Foundation, as a result of which the Foundation for Polish Science joined a group of similar organisations from 19 countries-signatories of bilateral partnership agreements under which grants are mutually awarded to eminent scholars from Germany and the other country. The grantees are invited to carry out research projects of their choice in the host country, in co-operation with their colleagues there.
The title of this fellowship is a reference to the best tradition of co-operation between Polish and German scholars. It is named after Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), a German natural scientist, explorer and geographer. Often collaborating with Polish scholars, he was an Honorary Member of the Warsaw Society of the Friends of Science and the first promoter of Adam Mickiewicz's poetry in Germany.
The names of prospective grantees from amongst German scholars are submitted to the Foundation for Polish Science by distinguished Polish scientists, who are obliged to provide appropriate facilities for their candidate to carry out a research project as designed by the beneficiary.
The research stay (from 4 - 6 months) may be split into several periods over three years.
Amount awarded
At present, the amount awarded as fellowship is 4000 € per month.
The final date for submission of entries is 30th September.
