Call for Applications: Einstein Fellowship 2024 for Outstanding Young Thinkers | €10,000 stipend

The Einstein Fellowship application period is now open for 2024. For exceptional young intellectuals who want to pursue a topic in a field unrelated to their past study, the Einstein Forum and the Wittenstein Foundation grant fellowships.

The fellowship’s goal is to assist those who, like Albert Einstein, produce outstanding work in their field of specialization while also being open to alternative, interdisciplinary approaches. The scholarship offers housing for five to six months in Einstein’s own summerhouse’s garden cottage in Caputh, Brandenburg, just a short drive from the academic institutions of Potsdam and Berlin.

The fellow will be required to present his or her project in a public lecture at the Wittenstein Foundation and the Einstein Forum at the conclusion of the fellowship time. It is not designed for students who want to finish an academic study they’ve already started to apply for the Einstein Fellowship.
