[ANPPOM-Lista] Volkswagen Foundation Freigeist Fellowships (15 Oct. 2015, 2016, 2017)

[Carlos Palombini]

A great opportunity for junior researchers in all disciplines: The
‘Freigeist’ initiative is directed toward enthusiastic and charismatic
scientists and scholars with an outstanding record: through a highly
flexible funding scheme junior researchers are given the opportunity to
enjoy maximum freedom in their early scientific career. Objective

A ‘Freigeist’ fellow: for the Volkswagen Foundation this means a young
researcher with a strong personality, a creative mind, an ability to
identify and use freedom, dedicated to overcoming resistance. If necessary,
he or she will be a free spirit, enjoying the unexpected, even unexpected
difficulties. A ‘Freigeist’ fellow opens up new horizons and combines
critical analysis with imagination and innovative solutions. By thinking
ahead the ‘Freigeist’ fellow will act as a catalyst in overcoming existing
disciplinary, institutional and even national boundaries.
Scope of Funding

The ‘Freigeist’ scheme is deliberately left open to all disciplines and
topics. The main focus is on junior researchers (up to 5 years of
postdoctoral experience) working at the borders of neighbouring fields or
disciplines. The ‘Freigeist’ initiative offers freedom for creative
thinking, whilst at the same time providing security for at least 5 years
and in the long run the opportunity to establish a career within a
scientific research organization or university in Germany. The initiative
even incorporates the possibility to apply for additional components during
the funding period (e.g. funding of staff positions, travel expenses etc.).

Details of conditions and the application procedure can be found under

Applications must be filed electronically via the application portal.
Background The ‘Freigeist’ initiative builds upon the previous funding
scheme for junior research groups and the Dilthey- and Schumpeter
Fellowships which were terminated recently. These will be integrated into
the ‘Freigeist’ initiative, providing continuous support for scholars from
the humanities and social sciences but at the same time offering new
chances for the sciences as well. The ‘Freigeist’ Fellowships and the
Lichtenberg Professorships complement each other using a different approach
and structure.
