Helmholtz HIDA Visiting Researcher Grant

Funding is available to doctoral and postdoctoral researchers from Germany and around the world whose research has a strong connection to information or data sciences to undertake a research stay of up to three months at a Helmholtz Centre in Germany.

The Helmholtz Association is a union of 18 scientific-technical and biological-medical research centres. It is the biggest scientific organisation in Germany which develops research programmes for six research fields: Energy, Earth and Environment, Health, Aeronautics, Space and Transport, Key Technologies plus Structure of Matter.

The Helmholtz HIDA Visiting Researcher Grant offers doctoral and postdoctoral researchers the opportunity to do a fully-funded short-term research stay in a department/working group at one of the 18 Helmholtz Centres. The programme is promoted by the Helmholtz Information and Data Science Academy (HIDA).

The aim of the programme is to enable new research collaborations, to foster knowledge exchange, and to explore new or emerging research topics in the field of information and data sciences. The programme addresses researchers in both academia and industry whose research has a strong link to the (applied) information and data sciences. It offers researchers the opportunity to get to know the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres.
