Hiob Ludolf Fellowships
For senior scholars
The University of Erfurt is once again advertising Hiob Ludolf research grants for the Gotha collections in 2025, primarily in the Gotha Research Library. During their stay on site, the fellows will be affiliated to the academic institutions of the University of Erfurt in Gotha.
These are aimed at established national and international senior scholars who wish to spend a research stay of one to two months in Gotha. They receive reimbursement of travel and accommodation costs of up to € 1,500 per month.
Applicants are requested to enclose the following documents with their application:
