Max Weber Foundation (MWS) Gerald D. Feldman Travel Grants

Once a year the Max Weber Foundation (MWS) confers Gerald D. Feldman Travel Grants to predoctoral and early career academics with an international focus. The travel grants are meant to expand the professional opportunities for humanities and social science researchers early in their careers (late-stage PhD or postdocs). The recipients develop their proposed research projects in at least two and at most three host countries, either at MWS institutes or branches or at the Richard Koebner Minerva Center for German History. The total term of funding shall not exceed three months. Placements (at most one month per host country, with shorter stays possible) are to be used for research, particularly in libraries and archives. The recipients are expected to produce transnational and transregional research, imbuing scholarship with new and original ideas. The research placements should ideally be completed within 12 months – and must be completed within 24 months – of receipt of the grant.
