Funding of the Ludwig Quidde Foundation (Grants for Projects/Conferences/Publications)

The Ludwig Quidde Foundation provides unique and ongoing grants nationwide for scientific works, conferences, and publications that establish a thematic connection to the life and work of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ludwig Quidde or engage with the fields of peace and conflict research as well as civil liberties. The aim of the funding is to deepen the understanding of Quidde’s contribution to historical peace research and the development of liberal societal structures. Scholarship contributions can be awarded both to projects specifically dealing with Quidde’s scientific legacy and to initiatives pursuing innovative approaches to securing and promoting peace and freedom. The Foundation emphasizes a scientific standard that aligns with its objectives and strives for a sustainable impact in research, teaching, and social engagement.

Eligible for funding are educational institutions, non-profit organizations, public institutions, and private individuals planning a corresponding project in the aforementioned thematic areas. Decisive for a positive evaluation are the scientific content and the demonstration of a clear connection to the goals of the Ludwig Quidde Foundation. There is no formal deadline – funding applications can be submitted continuously. A prerequisite for application is the presentation of the thematic relevance to Ludwig Quidde’s life’s work or to peace and conflict research or civil liberties. Through this, the Foundation supports research and education as drivers for social cohesion and democratic action.
