Overview of the Award

The Sofja Kovalevskaja Award is open to highly acclaimed scholars and 
scientists from all countries and disciplines.  Applicants must have 
completed a doctoral degree with distinction within the past six years 
and have published in prestigious international journals or academic 
presses.   The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation particularly welcomes 
applications from qualified, female junior researchers.

This award, granted by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and funded 
by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, is one of the 
most generously endowed research awards in Germany.

Award Funding

The funding - up to 1.65 million EUR per award - enables exceptionally 
promising junior scientists and scholars with outstanding research 
records to concentrate on high-level, innovative research in Germany, 
virtually without administrative constraints. The funds provided by the 
Sofja Kovalevskaja Award over five years allow recipients to:

     * Conduct independent research.
     * Finance a research team at a German university or research 
institution of their choice.
     * Cover their living expenses while in Germany.

Application Information

The next announcement for applications is planned for the first half of 
the year 2009 and  the deadline for application will probably be in the 
beginning of 2010. The selection meeting is scheduled for early summer 
2010. The Foundation plans to grant up to eight awards in 2010.

Application forms and detailed information
are available on the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation webpage
