Max Weber Stiftung
With its eleven research institutes abroad, the Max Weber Foundation (Max Weber Stiftung, MWS), based in Bonn, is one of the leading sponsors of German research in the humanities and social sciences. It employs over 350 staff worldwide and supports numerous scholarship holders.
Once a year the Max Weber Foundation confers Gerald D. Feldman Travel Grants to academics in the qualification phase with an international focus. The travel grants are meant to improve the career opportunities for humanities and social science academics in their qualification phase. The scientists conduct a self-chosen research project in at least two and at most three host countries which are home to MWS institutes and branches or at the Richard Koebner Minerva Center for German History in Israel. The total term of funding shall not exceed three months. Placements (at most one month per host country, shorter stays are possible) are to be used for research, especially in libraries and archives. Academics are expected to produce transnational and transregional studies, providing research with new and original ideas. The research placements should ideally be completed within 12 months, or at most 24.
Funding is based on the rates of Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and covers:
