The Helmholtz International Fellow Award is intended to contribute to intensifying existing cooperations between scientists at Helmholtz centers and excellent foreign researchers. It is endowed with 20,000 euros and should enable successful candidates to realize joint research projects with colleagues from the Helmholtz Association or to strengthen existing cooperations. The Helmholtz institutions, including the KIT, nominate candidates twice a year, and the Helmholtz presidium makes the selection.
