The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation’s German Chancellor Fellowship
Program is for university graduates from the United States, the Russian
Federation and the People’s Republic of China with an interest in
international issues and demonstrated leadership potential. The program
is targeted at accomplished young professionals who are likely to become
decision-makers, thought leaders, and influential voices in their
respective fields. Fellows will be recruited from a broad range of areas
such as politics and public policy, law, media, business, the
non-governmental sector, and the arts. The program provides fellows the
opportunity to spend one year in Germany, where they will network with
other prospective leaders from abroad and explore new solutions to the
global issues of our times. This prestigious program builds on Germany’s
established and growing reputation as a favored destination for
problem-focused international dialogue and a meeting place for
tomorrow’s international leaders.
During their time in Germany, Federal Chancellor Fellows conduct independent projects at their host institutions. The project should involve original exploration of a topic or issue, or research in the fellow’s respective field of interest. The fellows are mentored by hosts in Germany, whom the fellows have chosen on the basis of their expertise in their respective areas. Projects should be of relevance to modern societies, have a long-term and visible impact, and help to advance fellows’ careers and professional development. Through their experience in Germany, fellows will acquire greater knowledge of their fields, gain new international experience, and strengthen their intercultural competence – all essential qualities for future professional leaders.
The Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany is the patron of this sponsorship program, which is financed by the Federal Foreign Office. The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation grants up to 30 German Chancellor Fellowships annually, with up to ten prospective leaders selected from each of the three countries.
The application deadline for fellowships beginning September 2013 is October 15, 2012.
