Jetzt noch flexibler forschen: Neuerungen bei unseren Forschungsstpendien! 💡 Wir wollen den Realitäten von internationalen Forschungsbiografien noch stärker gerecht werden. Neben ✔Stipendienerhöhungen und einer größeren ✔Flexibilität bei der Durchführung und Aufteilung von Forschungsaufenthalten, bietet die Humboldt-Stiftung nun zusätzliche ✔Unterstützung für Geförderte mit Behinderung oder chronischer Erkrankung. Zudem stärkt sie die ✔ #Gleichstellung von unverheirateten Paaren durch neue Regelungen bei den Familienzulagen. ℹ Zu den Details hier: https://lnkd.in/eXhhgqEV

Full house at the Berlin Science Week at our Deep Dive #ResearchComLab ! 🤩 What an amazing night at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin ! 🦕 Sitting between prehistoric mammals and meteorites, we discussed how to communicate tricky topics in research communication with Humboldt fellow and migration expert Sanam Roohi ( Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS) gGmbH /Kulturwissenschaftliches Institut Essen) and climate journalist Adrianna Borowicz ( Deutsche Welle ) – both alumni of our #ResearchComLab . At the panel, moderated by Stephanie Siewert (Alexander von Humboldt Foundation), we presented some of the insights from the most recent #ResearchComLab on the conflict zones of #Migration , #ClimateChange and #AI . ◾ Why exactly are these issues so sensitive and tricky to communicate? ◾ What are hurdles but also, how can research and media collaborate to tell engaging, trustworthy and accessible stories? During the discussion we emphasised the role of human stories and protagonists in #SciComm , the need for more local and diverse voices, and more nuanced approaches in migration reporting that avoid scapegoating. Especially in climate communication – where topics are oftentimes highly politicised – we need more relatable stories and a solution-focused journalism, presenting simple, actionable steps over disaster reporting. We had the best of times! Thank you so much Berlin Science Week for this opportunity and the wonderful audience for their thought-provoking and engaging questions. We take away lots of inspiration and new ideas for our future #ResearchComLab |s. #ResearchComLab is a programme organised by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the International Journalists' Programmes (IJP), designed to connect researchers and journalists in addressing complex global issues.

Calling all early-career researchers from the #UK and #Germany ! 👋 Apply now for the UK-German Frontiers of Humanities Symposium in Berlin! Together with The British Academy , we invite 30 researchers to participate in the symposium on “ #Belonging ”! 📆 7 to 9 May 2025 📌 #Berlin ⏰ Deadline: 8 January 2025 Conceptions of belonging, both in legal/material and in imaginary/symbolic terms, interact with people’s sense of identity, shaping the way in which individuals, communities and societies understand themselves and interact with the world around them. What does it mean to belong to a community, a society or a state? How is this sense of belonging – or exclusion from it – produced, maintained, expressed and represented? This symposium seeks to bring a highly interdisciplinary lens to this work, exploring ideas of belonging and identity in relation to borders and boundaries, both physical and ideological. ℹ For more information on the requirements and the application process, visit: https://lnkd.in/eSJNSRxU ℹ The Frontiers of Research Symposia: https://lnkd.in/eTA6FmSA #FrontiersOfResearch

#America goes to the polls 🗳 – what does that mean for US foreign and science policy? Less than a week until the US decides on the future of the nation. With the country at a crossroads, we asked former German Chancellor Fellow and expert on US-China policy Michael Laha how the election result could affect foreign policy and international cooperation in the fields of #science , #technology and #innovation . "Irrespective of who wins the elections, the disputes between the US and China will increase and extend to more areas of technology." (Michael Laha) Looking at current tensions in world politics, will another Humboldtian – Harris's National Security Advisor, Philip Gordon – play a key role in the future of US foreign policy, especially regarding US-China relations? Let's take a look at the possible outcomes of November 5! 👉 https://lnkd.in/ePf7YSHb #USelections #China #foreignpolicy #democracy #transatlantic #Harris #Trump

How (un)fair is the global #science system? 🌍 🧪 For years, one assumption seemed to be set in stone: Relevant, path-breaking research was only taking place in the high-income countries of the Global North. In countries of the #GlobalSouth with low and medium incomes, the results of these outstanding scientific achievements were at best consumed. But is this really the case? One thing is clear: In the global knowledge-production economy, resources and access are unfairly distributed. Read how this asymmetry came about, where there are still problems and where the conditions are beginning to change in the latest edition of our magazine. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dRFsTx76 ----------------------------------- The new issue of our Humboldt Kosmos magazine explores the topic of #colonialism and how it is still affecting science – and the world 👉 https://lnkd.in/dJBm7DyX #Africa #IvyLeague

What's the future of #food ? 🍎 Apply now for the #HumboldtResidencyProgramme 2025 and work together with researchers, writers, artists, civil society actors and social entrepreneurs in Berlin/Brandenburg next summer! 🥕 🍗 🍞 Nourishment is a basic human need and thus our shared relationship with food connects people across time and space. But rather than just a biological necessity, food is a lens through which we view and create society.

Join us to dissect the evolving landscape of global food practices and speculate on the future of food! 📅 Six weeks in August/September 📌 Berlin/Brandenburg 👋 Twelve international participants – researchers, writers, artists, civil society actors and social entrepreneurs 💬 Learn from each other and communicate your key messages to target audiences ⏰ Deadline: 9 December 2024 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eEmERbfV

"This brutal war affects me very deeply." Oksana Seumenicht grew up in #Ukraine and leads the Foundation’s #MSCA4Ukraine Programme that enables researchers who have fled the country to continue their work in other European countries. "The Euromaidan in 2013/14 was a major change for me. In 2014, I started creating structures and platforms for academic exchange and cooperation with Ukraine together with others."
