DLR-DAAD Research Fellowship Programme

The DLR-DAAD Research Fellowships is a programme implemented by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). This special programme is intended for highly-qualified foreign graduate and doctoral students as well as postdoctoral researchers and senior scientists. DLR-DAAD Fellowships are defined and awarded on an individual basis in the research fields of Aeronautics, Space, Energy, and Transportation. The programme offers five types of fellowships (A through E) with varying durations and stipend amounts, ranging from short-term visits for senior scientists to multi-year doctoral programmes. DLR is Germany's national research centre for aeronautics and space, employing approximately 10,000 people plus visiting scientists across 55 institutes and facilities at 30 locations in Germany. Fellowships are awarded on a 'first come first serve' basis, and applicants can only apply for positions at DLR institutes, not universities or other institutions.
