Einstein Visiting Fellow

call image

This programme gives renowned scientists from abroad the opportunity to cooperate with a Berlin host to set up their own research group. In contrast to typical visiting fellows who stay at an institution for one term, the goal of the Einstein Visiting Fellowship is to integrate researchers into Berlin’s science community on a sustainable basis. The programme thus enables the Berlin universities and Charité – Universitätsmedizin to establish long-term  collaborations with the Einstein Visiting Fellow’s home institution.
