8.6 Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung (AvH)
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation promotes international cooperation between
scholars from abroad and specialist colleagues in Germany. The Foundation has built up an
international network currently numbering nearly 24,000 individuals in more than 130
countries who maintain intensive academic, cultural, political and economic contacts with
Germany.
In 2009, once again, the Foundation was able to grant 699 research fellowships, 87 research
awards and 8 AvH Professorships. There has been a stunning increase in the number of
applications to the Georg Forster Program, which is tailored to the needs of developing
countries.
The Humboldt Foundation again offered its foreign research fellows and award winners a
wide range of opportunities to continue academic work in their home countries and to
maintain contact with German partners in cooperation
