Duration of the Humboldt Fellowship

The duration of a Humboldt Research Fellowship can vary depending on the specific fellowship program and the type of research project being conducted. However, in general, Humboldt Fellowships are typically awarded for periods ranging from 6 to 24 months.

For postdoctoral researchers, the standard duration of a Humboldt Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Researchers is typically 6 to 24 months, with the possibility of extension in some cases. This allows recipients to conduct research at a host institution in Germany and collaborate with experts in their field.

For experienced researchers, such as those applying for the Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers, the duration may also range from 6 to 18 months, with the option for extension under certain circumstances. This fellowship is designed for researchers who have completed their doctorate within the past four years and wish to pursue further research in Germany.

The duration of the fellowship may also depend on the specific terms and conditions set by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, as well as any additional funding or support provided by the host institution or other sources.

Applicants should carefully review the fellowship guidelines and terms provided by the Humboldt Foundation to determine the available duration options for their specific fellowship category and research project.
