As the health of animals, humans and the environment is a global challenge that transcends national borders, we want to support the international networking of One Health scientists.
The travel grants are intended to facilitate the exchange of scientific techniques and methods, to enhance knowledge transfer and to strengthen international relationships. The focus is on international networking and interdisciplinary exchange in line with the One Health concept.
This year, up to two doctoral fellowships and one postdoctoral fellowship can be awarded for a four-month stay at a German research institution. The grant covers up to 1,500 € per month for a maximum of four months for PhD students and 2,350 € per month for a maximum of four months for PostDocs. Travel costs (outward/return) will be covered in addition. The stay should be completed by the end of 2025.
Scholars are required to submit a short report at the end of their stay.
