Award winners can also act as hosts in their home countries for researchers from Germany: Through the Feodor Lynen Research Fellowships for post-doctoral researchers and experienced researchers, the Foundation enables scholars from Germany with above-average qualifications to spend extended periods of research abroad in cooperation with alumni and other members of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Network. The selection criteria are comparable to those for research fellowships for international guest researchers. The Foundation generally expects a contribution by the hosts abroad to financing of the fellowship amount.
The specific eligibility and funding conditions can be accessed on the Foundation’s website.
