Research In-Situ
Take your first steps in the field of research – while you study. Our “Research In-Situ” program encourages scholarship holders to develop their own research ideas at an early stage in their studies and provides them with platforms to present and discuss them with other researchers.
Pursuing independent research ideas

Integrating scholarship holders into national and international research communities at an early stage is one of the Max Weber Program’s core objectives. Through our “Research In-Situ” program, we fund congress visits and research stays of up to three months, both in Germany and abroad.
There are no restrictions on subjects or topics - whether it's space technology in Sweden, marine biology on a research vessel in Alaska, fieldwork in Uganda or the Federal Archives in Berlin, our scholarship holders' interests and specific research projects, which are often linked to their final theses, are what truly matter.
