The Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald is an independent institute for advanced study situated in the center of the historic city of Greifswald on the shore of the baltic sea. The Kolleg was established by the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach-Stiftung in cooperation with the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the Ernst Moritz Arndt University Greifswald in order to advance the excellence and the international research profile of the university.

The “Alfried Krupp Senior Fellowships” will be awarded to outstanding senior scientists and scholars who are qualified by their achievements in research as well as in teaching.

The “Alfried Krupp Junior Fellowships” will be awarded to highly promising younger post-doctoral scholars.
Through the Fellowship programme of the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg, senior and younger scholars are given the opportunity to concentrate on a major piece of research, free from the full teaching and administrative obligations of ordinary university life. In cooperation with the University of Greifswald, the Kolleg provides opportunities for scientific and interdisciplinary encounters with colleagues and students. Proposals from groups of scholars who plan to pursue an international and interdisciplinary collaborative project in Greifswald are welcome, too.

Fellows will be invited either for one Semester (1 October – 31 March or 1 April – 30 September) or for a full academic year (1 Oktober – 30 September). Offices and accomodation in the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg will be offered to the fellows free of charge. The fellowships are funded according to the high expectations concerning the scientific achievements of the fellows.
The guidelines and further particulars for the Alfried Krupp Fellowship programme can be downloaded from www.wiko-greifswald.de.
