The Philipp Schwartz Initiative helps researchers who have fled their countries to find their feet at German universities and research institutions.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Philipp Schwartz Initiative<\/strong> provides universities and research institutions in Germany with the means to host threatened foreign researchers for a period of 24 months on a fully funded research fellowship. An extension is possible under a co-financing model.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Initiative is funded by the Federal Foreign Office, with generous additional support from the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, the Gerda Henkel Foundation, the Klaus Tschira Foundation, the Robert Bosch Foundation, the Stifterverband, and the Stiftung Mercator.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n“Philipp Schwartz Initiative” is a globally registered trademark.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nContact<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDr. Barbara Sheldon\r\nHead of Strategic Planning Division<\/strong>\r\nManaging Director Philipp Schwartz Initiative<\/strong>\r\nPhone: +49 228 833 109\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFrank Albrecht\r\nProgramme Director Philipp Schwartz Initiative<\/strong>\r\nPhone: +49 228 833 122\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nProgramme Officers Philipp Schwartz Initiative<\/strong>\r\nKatja Machacsek, phone: +49 228 833 182\r\nKatharina Poth, phone: 49 228 833 166\r\nSvetlana Strobel, phone: +49 228 833 409\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nschwartz-initiative@avh.de<\/strong><\/a>For Press Inquiries<\/strong>\r\npresse@avh.de<\/strong><\/a>\r\nPhone: +49 228 833 144\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.humboldt-foundation.de\/web\/philipp-schwartz-initiative-en.html<\/a>\r\n
