The German Chancellor Fellowship Program of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation is aimed at university graduates with an international perspective and initial leadership experience from Brazil, the People’s Republic of China, India, the Russian Federation, South Africa, and the United States. It is aimed at prospective decision-makers, multipliers, and thought leaders from a variety of professional fields, including politics, public policy, and business.
Administration and business, as well as society and culture, are all included. This fellowship program is designed to provide them with the opportunity to spend a year in Germany exploring new solutions to today’s global issues and expanding their networks. With this program, Germany reaffirms itself as a preferred destination for intercultural dialogue and a meeting place for tomorrow’s international leaders.
The German Chancellor Fellows pursue self-developed, research-based projects that are societally relevant and have the potential for long-term, publicly visible impact during their stay in Germany. They are supervised by German hosts whom they choose and who have the necessary level of expertise to mentor the respective topics. Their projects help the fellows advance in their careers.
