Alexander von Humboldt Professorship

The Alexander von Humboldt Professorship is Germany’s most prestigious prize for international researchers, awarded in recognition of leading international researchers from all disciplines and designed in order to enable them to carry out long-term research at a German university. The prize money is intended to fund the first five years in Germany. Up to ten professorships are awarded each year.

The prize is awarded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.  The prize money of 5 million euros for experimental research and 3.5 million euros for theoretical research is mainly used to set up a research team and purchase equipment for laboratories. The universities who host these researchers commit to involving them and their teams in an overall plan which will offer them long-term prospects in Germany.
