Once a year the DGIA Foundation offers Gerald D. Feldman travel grants to German academics.
The travel support aims to improve the professional opportunities for outstanding, internationally orientated humanities academics. In the travel support programme up to six academics each year will receive travel support with the aid of the Peters Beer Foundation, a member of the Stifterverband für die deutsche Wissenschaft (Benefactors’ Association for German Science and Humanities)
and the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF).
The academics carry out a research project of their choice in up to three host countries of institutes of the DGIA Foundation. Travel support is granted for a maximum of three months and can be used for residence in up to three host countries of the Foundation’s institutes. The periods of residence are especially intended to enable research in libraries or archives in the respective host country. This is expected to produce studies which are transnational, giving new and original impulses to research.
The period of residence should be completed within 12 months, and cannot exceed 24 months. The travel support is granted for one month only (28 days) for each host country.
The payments reflect international standards:
