Rising Star Fellowships 2020 for Early-Career Researchers in Freie Universität, Germany [Apply by 31 May]
20 February 2020 • 3 min read
About Fellowship
Freie Universität Berlin was founded in 1948 by professors and students, in response to the persecution faced by students who took a critical eye of the system at Universität Unter den Linden, at that time located in the Soviet sector of the divided city. The idea of founding a free university found widespread support in the international community, including financial support. This outpouring of aid helped pave the way for Freie Universität to become a university with an outstanding international reputation.
