A German Chancellor Fellowship enables to carry out a project of own design in cooperation with a host in Germany. The Humboldt Foundation grants nearly ten German Chancellor Fellowships annually for prospective leaders from the three countries mainly China, United States and Russian Federation.
The Russian Federation or the People’s Republic of China have completed first degree (at least a Bachelor’s or comparable degree), have subsequently gained work experience and have shown exceptional leadership potential in career. The programme is under the support of the German Chancellor and also incorporates an intensive language course in Germany, a four-week introductory seminar in Bonn and Berlin, a study trip around Germany and a final meeting in Berlin. These activities offer additional insights into the social, economic, cultural and political life of Germany.
