Max G. Huber Scholarship

The Max G. Huber Scholarship, funded by memorial donations from the Huber family, honors the life's work of an outstanding physicist and dedicated university rector. The DAAD Foundation established this prize money in close coordination with the heirs of Max G. Huber to continue his legacy of open, international academic collaboration. The funds provided are available flexibly and enable support for academic projects that set impulses for research, innovation, and exchange across borders. In this way, the program builds on Professor Huber’s vision to promote bright minds and keep Germany’s scientific location competitive worldwide.

All enrolled students as well as researchers who can demonstrate a concrete project are eligible—regardless of discipline, destination country, or study status. The scholarship is equally aimed at doctoral candidates, postdocs, and early-career researchers seeking financial relief and professional networking. Applications can be submitted continuously, ensuring a flexible start of funding. Designed as a particularly inclusive award, this funding opens new opportunities for interdisciplinary cooperation and contributes to the development of individual talents. It underscores the DAAD Foundation’s commitment to education, research, and innovation and invites participation in shaping a vibrant, international academic landscape.
