Awards of up to 1.2 Million EURO for Exceptional Young Researchers




The Sofja Kovalevskaja Award, granted by the 
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, is among the 
most generously endowed research awards in 
Germany.  The funding-up to EUR 1.2 million per 
award-enables young scientists and scholars with 
outstanding research records to concentrate on 
high-level, innovative research in Germany, 
virtually without administrative constraints. 
With the funds provided over four years by the 
Sofja Kovalevskaja Award, recipients:




        Develop and finance a workgroup at a 
German university or non-university research 
institution


        Conduct research of their own design


        Finance their living expenses



The program is open to scholars and scientists of 
all nationalities and in all fields of study who 
are not resident in Germany.  Applicants must be 
under 35 years of age, have a doctoral degree, 
and have publications in prestigious refereed 
journals.  Detailed information about 
eligibility, residency requirements, and 
application forms are available at:

The deadline for application is January 4, 2006. 
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation will select 
recipients of the Sofja Kovalevskaja Award in 
June 2006.
