Humboldt-Foundation: International Climate Protection Fellowship

Every year the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation enables prospective leaders in academia and industry from developing countries to implement a research-based proposal in the field of climate protection and/or adaptation through the International Climate Protection Fellowship (ICP). In GERICS, we have hosted various esteemed scientists in their respective fields. As an inspiration, you can view the profiles of the past and current Humboldt ICP Fellows hosted by GERICS:

One of the requirements for this fellowship application requires a detailed statement by a host in Germany, including a mentoring agreement.
