Alexander von Humboldt Foundation - International Climate Protection Fellowships

[KANNA KUMAR SIRIPURAPU]

we came across an exciting fellowship
opportunity offered by the German Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and
thought it might be interesting for you/ your students/ your colleagues
or someone you know: International Climate Protection Fellowships.



The *International Climate Protection Fellowships* enable prospective
leaders to conduct a research-related project of their own choice
during a one-year stay in Germany. Submit an application if you are a
prospective leader from a non-European threshold or developing country
(see list of countries a href="http://www.humboldt-foundation.de/pls/web/wt_show.text_page?p_text_id=1125828" target="_blank">http://www.humboldt-foundation.de/pls/web/wt_show.text_page?p_text_...>) working in the field of climate protection and resource conservation in
academia, business or administration in your country. Applicants must
provide a clearly visible leadership potential either by experience in
a first leadership position or be able to provide appropriate
references. They must also have completed their first university degree
(Bachelor's or equivalent academic degree) less than 12 years prior to
the start of the fellowship (1 September 2011) with outstanding
results. They must also hold a further academic or professional
qualification (Master's, PhD, LL.M., MBA etc.) or have extensive
professional experience in a leadership role (at least 48 months at the
time of application). Furthermore, they are expected to have gained
initial practical experience through involvement in projects related to
climate protection and resource conservation. The fellowship will
enable the recipients to conduct a research-related project of their
own choice with hosts in Germany whom they are free to choose
themselves.



The programme, which is being funded under the International Climate
Protection Initiative by the Federal Ministry for the Environment,
Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, includes a preparatory
intensive language course in Germany, a several-week introductory
seminar, a two-week training course and a final meeting in Berlin.
These activities will enable you to gain additional insights into
academic, social, cultural, economic and political life in Germany.



In addition to applicants who have been trained in the natural and
engineering sciences, candidates who have been engaged in legal,
economic and societal issues relating to climate change are encouraged
to apply for this programme. Every year, the Alexander von Humboldt
Foundation is granting up to 20 International Climate Protection
Fellowships to prospective leaders from the countries named. The
programme is currently scheduled to run until 2012.



*Closing date (date of receipt at Humboldt Foundation): 15 December 2010*
