To encourage young researchers and doctoral students to showcase their research in the humanities, social sciences, or public health related to Alzheimer’s disease, the Médéric Alzheimer Foundation is offering support for participation in a scientific presentation through a call for applications.

This support is intended for students enrolled in a doctoral program in the humanities and social sciences (psychology, sociology, economics, law, anthropology, demography, philosophy, linguistics, political science, education, nursing, etc.) or public health at a French university in 2025–2026 whose research focuses on Alzheimer’s disease.

In honor of the medievalist Eugen Ewig (1913-2006), initiator, founder and first director of the German Center for Historical Research, driven by the idea of reconciliation, IHA helps post-docs preparing to become professors in their search for project funding. The four-month fellowship should be used to prepare an application for individual project funding or, preferably, to set up a research group in line with the Institute's thematic axes. The duration of the fellowship may be extended until the decision of the third-party organization (up to a maximum of eight months), if the candidate has succeeded in submitting a promising funding application.

IHA makes its infrastructure available to the grant-holder to prepare a dossier and, if successful, carry out the project if the candidate participates in IHA's scientific life by organizing a study day, for example.

IHA scholarships are open to applicants from the German scientific community, regardless of nationality. Applications for start-up grants can be submitted at any time.

Applicants are required to submit an application for individual project funding or, preferably, to form a research group in line with the Institute's thematic focus.
