Since 2005, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft have jointly awarded the Fraunhofer–Bessel Research Award to internationally recognised researchers for outstanding scientific achievements. The award is endowed with €45,000 and enables recipients to carry out collaborative research at a Fraunhofer Institute in Germany for a total period of six to twelve months, which may be divided into multiple stays.
Institute directors or senior researchers at Fraunhofer Germany may nominate leading scientists who completed their doctorate less than 18 years ago; self-nominations are not permitted. The programme is open to researchers of all nationalities who have been predominantly living and working outside Germany for at least five years at the time of nomination. Nominations can be submitted throughout the year. Researchers interested in being nominated are invited to contact the Fraunhofer Institute they wish to collaborate with, or alternatively Lisa Göbl or Annika Wust for further guidance.
