International Climate Protection Fellowships: The International Climate Protection Fellowships enable prospective leaders to conduct a research-related project of their own choice during a one-year stay in Germany.

Applicants need to be from developing countries and working in the field of climate protection and resource conservation in academia, business or administration.

Applicants must also provide a clearly visible leadership potential either by experience in a first leadership position or be able to provide appropriate references.

They must have completed their first university degree (Bachelor’s or equivalent academic degree) less than 12 years prior to the start of the fellowship with outstanding results.

They must also hold a further academic or professional qualification (Master’s, PhD, LL.M., MBA etc.) or have extensive professional experience in a leadership role (at least 48 months at the time of application).

Furthermore, they are expected to have gained initial practical experience through involvement in projects related to climate protection and resource conservation.

The fellowship will enable the recipients to conduct a research-related project of their own choice with hosts in Germany whom they are free to choose themselves.
