This Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme, funded by the Gulbenkian Foundation, the Volkswagen Foundation and other European partners aims at providing sustainable support for research in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Besides an African-European cooperation, special emphasis is put on the development and extension of academic networks within Africa.

The application is organized as a three-stage process, and pre-proposals must be submitted as one pdf file in English by 15 June 2011 to socialsciences2011@volkswagenstiftung.de, or alternatively via the electronic application system (https://portal.volkswagenstiftung.de/vwsantrag/login.do?siteLanguage=en).

The Foundations can only provide funds to academic institutions. Furthermore, it is not possible to fund projects for development aid or short-term applications. The Foundations cannot consider applications which have been submitted at the same time either in the same or some similar form to other funding institutions. Also, the Foundations are not able to allocate funding to cover commitments entered into prior to the receipt of the grant letter.
