297 applications for ZUKOnnect Fellowships

We have received 297 applications for the ZUKOnnect Fellowships (application deadline was on 28 February 2020).

After a formal eligibility check, these applications will be open to internal peer-review before they are forwarded to the selection committee. At the end of April, the selection process will be finalised and all candidates will be informed by email about the result of their application.

The ZUKOnnect Fellowships support early career researchers from Africa, Asia and Latin America related to one of the thirteen departments of the University of Konstanz. The Fellowships will help to strengthen the cultural diversity at the Zukunftskolleg and will thereby promote and stimulate the intellectual and integrative discourse amongst our fellows.

The Fellowships have a duration of three to four months, which gives the fellows enough time to extend their research networks into new regions, and initiate intercontinental research partnerships. The research stays at the Zukunftskolleg also enable ZUKOnnect Fellows to get to know the research environment at the University of Konstanz and enrich the scientific discussions within the university, without losing ties to their home university.
