Humboldt Colloquium
“Excellence in Research”
2-4 November 2012, Toronto
Call for Papers
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation promotes academic cooperation between
excellent scientists and scholars from Germany and countries around the
world. To this end, it grants more than 700 research fellowships and
research awards annually to individual researchers who become life-long
members of the international network of more than 25,000 alumni, the
socalled“Humboldtians” http://www.humboldt-foundation.de.
As a gathering of the Humboldt community in Canada, the Humboldt Colloquium
will celebrate the German-Canadian partnership in research and will explore
current trends in the making and funding of excellent research in all fields
of research in both Germany and Canada. We are expecting about 250
participants, roughly 200 Humboldt alumni and 50 early career researchers
from leading universities and research institutions across Canada.
As a part of the colloquium, a special session for early career researchers
will take place on the afternoon of 3 November at the Hyatt Park Regency
Hotel.
The session will give prominent space to early career researchers from all
fields, allowing them to present their current work to more senior and
established Canadian researchers with strong international experience and
connections and to seek personal advice on sponsorship opportunities for
international collaboration from the representatives of the Alexander von
Humboldt Foundation and its partner organizations, Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG),German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and Max
Planck Society (MPG).
Advanced PhD students and scientists and scholars who received their PhD
degree fewer than 6 years ago are invited to submit an application to
participate in the three-day colloquium and present a short paper during the
workshops on 3 November and/or a poster during the poster session.
Applications are accepted until 7 September under the following link:

3FBRoG.
The preliminary program and general information and advice for the
presentation are alsoavailable at this site. The conference language is
English.
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, biography and list of
publications submitted. All applicants will be notified by the first week of
October.
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation will cover the costs for the
participation of early career researchers in the three-day program (coffee
breaks, meals, conference materials). Those attending from outside Toronto
will receive a lump-sum conference allowance of 150 CAD to help cover travel
and accommodation costs. |
