Scouting program for young scientists

Prof. Faes now has the opportunity to propose up to three potential research fellows for a Humboldt Research Fellowship to conduct research with him in the broader topics of the Chair for Reliability Engineering, including uncertainty quantification and reliability analysis with a focus on numerical methods.

The Henriette Herz Scouting Program will thus attract new collaborative partners* for Germany, both professionally and regionally. At the same time, the proportion of women sponsored in the Humboldt Research Fellowship Programme is to be increased. In order to attract these talented researchers from abroad, whose doctorates may not date back more than 12 years, for research stays, the Humboldt Foundation would like to make use of the knowledge, international connections and commitment of selected researchers in Germany: Each year, approximately 40 individuals are selected as "scouts" in a competitive peer-review process, who then independently identify junior researchers abroad and propose them to the Foundation for sponsorship. This should result in up to 100 additional Humboldt Research Fellowships being awarded each year.
