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.
