Gerda Henkel Research Grants: Project grants and scholarships
Gerda Henkel Foundation
The Gerda Henkel Foundation calls for applications for research project grants and research scholarships in the fields of "historical humanities" (archaeology, history of art, historical Islamic studies, history, history of law, history of science, prehistory and early history).
Applications for research scholarships can be made directly by Postdocs or scholars with Post Doctoral Lecture Qualification. A research scholarship is usually applied for by one scholar who will work on a specific project on his own. An institutional affiliation is not necessary. The simultaneous receipt of salary or retirement pension and a research scholarship is not possible. The funding period is generally between one and 24 months.
The grants for research projects involve, depending on the type of project, the assumption of costs for personnel, travel, materials and/or other costs. Applicants must be actively involved in the research work underpinning the project. Support can be provided for a period of min. one month and max. 24 months.
The application deadline for scholarships and research projects is 26 May 2025 (no deadlines for smaller funding amounts of up to 30,000 Euros for scholarships and research projects).
The Gerda Hendel Foundation also awards about 50 PhD scholarships each year. Applications for PhD scholarships are considered throughout the year.
