Programme Description

The international Leo Baeck Fellowship Programme awards fellowships to doctoral students who carry out research into the history and culture of Central European Jewry. We welcome projects on any period or field (including literature, philosophy, history, musicology), and any region (such as Europe, Israel, the Americas), as long as they relate to German-speaking Jewry.

In addition to financial support for one year, the programme offers an opportunity to exchange ideas and to network. It is open to doctoral candidates of any nationality, studying at any university. All fellows remain at their home institution, but get together for two workshops which are jointly organised by the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes and the Leo Baeck Institute London.

The fellows are granted a monthly stipend of EUR 1,350 for the duration of one year. In most cases, a monthly research cost allowance of EUR 100 is also paid. For research trips and conference participation monthly supplements and travel allowances are available on application. After the first year, students enrolled at a university in Germany may apply for an extension, provided that the Studienstiftung has funding available.
