Leonhard-Euler-Programme 2022-2023
The Leonhard-Euler-Program of the German Academic Exchange Service with funds of the German Foreign Office goes into its next round in 2022-2023. For this purpose, the Europa-Institut of Saarland University wants to apply for several scholarship so that we are able to award a 1-month scholarship.
The Leonhard-Euler-Program promotes the implementation of joint binational research projects in order to contribute to the retention of young university teachers (e.g. during the doctoral phase) at their respective home universities. The supervision of young researchers from Eastern and Southeastern Europe as well as countries of the South Caucasus and Central Asia is carried out jointly by foreign and German university teachers, taking advantage of existing good professional relations in one (or more neighboring) discipline(s) between the German university and the foreign university.
We plan to apply to this project. For this we must already have identified the possible scholarship holders.
At the heart of the Leonhard-Euler-Program is an one-month research stay to the Europa-Institut in conjunction with an on-site scholarship support (“Sur-Place”). In addition to the qualification of young scientists, this program is intended to increasingly promote young scientists for cooperation between different chairs of the participating universities. Furthermore, the program is intended to help counteract the “brain drain” of qualified young scientists.
The program starts in September 2022 and ends in August 2023. The Europa-Institut offers one-month research stays, including sur-place support, plus the mobility lump sums for each country:
| Local scholarship | 1200 Euro |
| Sur-Place scholarship | 150 Euro |
| Albania | 525 Euro |
| Bosnia and Herzegovina | 475 Euro |
| North Macedonia | 500 Euro |
| Serbia | 300 Euro |
Please note the following restrictions:
- The scholarships within this program can be only granted when we receive funding by the DAAD which depends on a positive proposal evaluation.
