General Description

The University of Bonn currently has a large number of collaborations with universities and research institutes in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Based on the 17th Sustainable Development Goal, “Partnerships for the Goals,” researchers in the above-mentioned regions are given preference for the Bonn SDG Fellowships. The goal is to support talented researchers and build and strengthen networks through them.

The funding is for a period of at least 3 and not more than 12 months.
