You wish to work independently and in an interdisciplinary field.
You pursue an extraordinary perspective or new methodological approaches.
You are able to react constructively to potential risks.
The doctorate must have been obtained not longer than five years previously.
The Fellowship must from the outset be inte¬grated within a university or an extra-mural research institution in Germany.
Candidates must already have changed their academic environment and moved to a new location—or do this at the latest when starting the Fellowship.
