Up to 20 International Climate Protection Fellowships are granted annually, funded under the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety’s (BMUB) International Climate Initiative.

Objectives

The global challenge posed by climate change can only be met by cross-border international collaborations. By enabling future decision-makers and multipliers to share knowledge, methods and techniques with specialist colleagues in Germany the programme promotes this objective, particularly by taking account of issues relating to practical applicability in the fellows’ own countries. The programme thus drives the development of long-term contacts and collaborations with colleagues in Germany.

Benefits

a monthly fellowship of between €2,150 and €2,650, depending on their qualifications
individual mentoring during applicants stay in Germany
additional financial support for items such as family members accompanying applicants, travel expenses or a German language course
a three-week introductory phase, during which applicants will have the opportunity to make contact with other climate protection fellows and visit companies, research institutions and cultural events in Germany
