The Gerda Henkel Stiftung supports in particular research projects in the following fields: Archaelogy, History of Art, Historical Islamic studies, History, History of Science, History of Law, 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 period of support for Foundation stipend holders working on Ph.D. or research projects can be extended by up to 12 months if the holder becomes a parent during the period covered by the stipend and has an entitlement to maternity or parental leave. Individual arrangements must be discussed with the Foundation’s administrative office.

Deadline: November 22, 2024

Applications for smaller grants (up to a max. 30,000 Euros) can be made at any time.
