Please
find attached a call for papers for the Early Career Researcher Session
of the Humboldt
Colloquium "Looking to the Future: International Research in a Changing
World". The three-day colloquium will be hosted by the Alexander von
Humboldt Foundation and take place in Sydney from October 17-19, 2013
The
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation promotes academic cooperation between
excellent scientists
and scholars from abroad and from Germany. To this end, it grants more
than 700 research fellowships and research awards annually to individual
researchers who become life-long members of an international network of
alumni, the so-called “Humboldtians”. For
the gathering of the Humboldt community in Australia, New Zealand and
Oceania, which will explore the chances and challenges of international
research in a world in constant change, the Humboldt Foundation is
expecting about 250 participants, of which roughly
200 Humboldt alumni and 50 early career researchers from leading
universities and research institutions across Australasia.
The
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation has a strong history and special
commitment of promoting
excellent young researchers and supporting their building of
international careers and academic collaborations. Therefore, we wish to
involve a group of approximately 50 early career researchers from
Australia in the meeting. Interdisciplinary workshops and
a poster session will give prominent space and attention to this group,
allowing them to present their current work to more senior and
established researchers from Australia, New Zealand and Oceania with
strong international experience and connections. Advanced
PhD students as well as scientists and scholars who received their PhD
degree fewer than 6 years ago may participate in the full three-day
event and seek personal advice on specific sponsorship opportunities
from the representatives of the Alexander von Humboldt
Foundation and its partner organisations, Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and German Academic Exchange Service
(DAAD).
The
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation will cover the costs for the
participation of early career
researchers in the programme and grant a lump-sum conference allowance
of 200 AUD for participants attending from outside Sydney.
Applications will be accepted until 23 August
under the link provided in the attached call. All
applications will be reviewed by a committee of Humboldt alumni as well
as staff of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The selection of the
participants will be based on the abstracts, curricula vitae and lists
of publications submitted. All applicants
will be notified by mid-September the latest.
Candidates
seeking more information about the event should visit the website
provided in the call.
Should institutional partners be interested in attending the session
and presenting their sponsorship or career opportunities, we kindly ask
that they contact the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation:
