Applications are now open for the 2024 Georg Forster Research Award. The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation annually grants Georg Forster Research Awards to internationally renowned academics from developing and transition countries in recognition of their academic record to date. The research award was named for renowned German ethnologist Georg Forster (1754–1794) and is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Requirements
Nominations for a Georg Forster Research Award may be initiated by established researchers at research institutions in Germany.
Humboldt Foundation award winners working abroad are also eligible to submit nominations jointly with a researcher working in Germany.
The main selection criteria include:
the nominee’s outstanding international reputation as a researcher
research findings with a demonstrable impact that extends beyond the immediate field of work
the significance of the awarding of a research prize in relation to the developmental relevance of the research (The United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals can serve as a point of reference here.)
