Baden-Württemberg Funds €3.6M 'Global Fellowships' for Persecuted Researchers
Baden-Württemberg's research institutes have secured €3.6 million for the 'Global Fellowships' initiative. This funding, part of the 'Global Partnership in Science' package, aims to support early-career researchers facing political restrictions or unable to conduct their work in the USA.
The program, launched in September 2025, offers temporary fellowships at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS), the Future College of the University of Konstanz, and the College of Fellows (CoF) of the University of Tübingen. It targets postdoctoral researchers of all nationalities, providing them with optimal conditions to continue their research independently for up to two years, starting from spring 2026.
The funding will create 14 positions for visiting researchers at the three universities. These fellows will benefit from flexible, low-bureaucracy fellowships, fostering science freedom and high-level exchange. They will gain new perspectives in the national and European science space and access to an interdisciplinary framework program. The initiative especially aims to support researchers affected by political pressure, offering a lifeline to continue their vital work.
The €3.6 million investment by the Ministry of Science, Research, and the Arts of Baden-Württemberg will enable 14 researchers to continue their work under optimal conditions. This investment not only supports individual careers but also strengthens the region's research landscape and international scientific cooperation.
