The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation is accepting applications for the second round of selection for the International Climate Protection Fellowships.
Prospective leaders from emerging or developing countries who have been working on questions of climate protection and resource conservation in academia, business, governmental-level or among NGOs can apply for these fellowships. There are around 20 fellowships available each year.
Selected candidates get an opportunity to visit and stay in Germany for a period of one year “to conduct a project dedicated to the sharing of knowledge, methods and techniques together with a host. This encourages the creation of a network in which German and foreign experts collaborate on a sustainable, international basis to combat climate change and its global consequences.”
The fellowships are funded under the Federal Environment Ministry’s (BMU) International Climate Protection Initiative.
The closing date to apply is 15 December 2010. For more information, visit this link.
