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 main focus is on junior researchers (up to 4 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.
Details of conditions and the application procedure can be found under Information for Applicants. Applications must be filed electronically via the application portal.
Background

disciplines. The aim of the Foundation is to facilitate the

for the upcoming generation of researchers. Since 2014, ten to fifteen
Freigeist fellows have been selected each year.
