Gerda Henkel Foundation: Special Programme Security, Society and the State
Programme Description
The research programme addresses scholars of all disciplines in the humanities or social sciences who focus on security-related issues, the fading role of the state and the gradual elimination of borders since the end of the Cold War. The programme is intended to encourage junior scholars to pursue unconventional research agendas that are nonetheless crucial, while providing senior scholars with the opportunity to focus intensively on work in progress for a limited period of time. The objective is to combine basic theoretical research with concepts that are applicable to present-day political issues of security policy.
Funding includes grants for research scholarships and research projects. Doctoral scholarships are only granted in connection with a research project. Post-doctoral scientists receive a scholarship base amount of EUR 2,300 each month, the grant for scientists with a post-doctoral lecture qualification is worth EUR 3,100. There are additional benefits, such as allowances for accompanying children or, i.e., to cover printing costs, if necessary. Please note that income from employment and scholarship income are mutually exclusive. The funding covers a period of one to 24 months.
