New Delhi, Oct 30 (KNN) Individuals from developing and emerging countries can now apply for an International Climate Protection Fellowship offered by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
The programme is meant for young climate experts from developing countries interested in conducting a project in Germany and developing long-term collaborations.
The deadline for applications is 15 March 2015.
“The fellowship allows future leaders to spend a year in Germany working on a research-based project of their own choice in the field of climate protection. Fellows are free to choose their own collaborative partners,” an official release said.
Candidates from non-European transition or developing country (prescribed list) who are involved with issues relating to the scientific, engineering, legal, economic or social aspects of climate change can apply for the fellowship.
During a three-week introductory phase, they will have the opportunity to make contact with other climate protection fellows and visit companies, research institutions and cultural events in Germany.
An intensive German-language course before they begin the fellowship will smooth their way into everyday life in Germany whilst a continuing education event lasting several days in the course of the fellowship will enable them to acquire not only practical knowledge of climate protection but also expertise in management.
Subject to final agreement to provide funding, 20 fellowships can be granted.
The list of developing countries is based on the information of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the OECD. For the International Climate Protection Fellowship Program European threshold and developing countries have been excluded from this list. (KNN/ES)
