Climate and resource protection scholarship programme for young professionals from developing and emerging countries (phase III)
As of: January 2021
International experts from science and practice are greatly interested in Germany as an attractive location for research and further education. A transfer of knowledge and methods to other countries also bolsters the exchange of information about climate-related issues. To further expand this exchange, the project is developing long-term cooperation with German and international partners for young professionals, deepening and consolidating the cooperation with their specialist colleagues in Germany. The project also integrates the sponsored experts into the international network of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. By transferring the climate and resource protection knowledge they acquired in Germany, the fellows make a direct and indirect contribution to a more sustainable, economic and social development in their countries of origin through their policy advice and research results.
