NewsletterVisiting Professorships at German Universities
As part of the modularisation of the DFG’s funding programmes, a Mercator Fellow module has been developed. The current Mercator Programme has been incorporated into this module. Intensive and ongoing exchange with researchers from Germany and especially those from abroad can add significant value to a research project. It is a way of bringing additional expertise to the project or into the network and increasing its visibility. Fellows are integrated to a greater extent than visiting researchers. They are associated with the project over the long term and at least partially on site at the host institution. They remain in contact with the project network even after their stay. International fellows carry the designation “Mercator Fellows” in recognition of their dedication to the project.
Mercator Fellowships can be applied for within the following programmes:
- Research grants
- The Emmy Noether Programme
- Research Units
- Priority Programmes
- Research Training Groups
- Collaborative Research Centres
