University of Bonn SDG Fellowship Program (Fully Funded) The University of Bonn SDG Fellowship Program invites scholars preferably from Africa, Latin America, and South/East Asia for research on Sustainable Development Goals-related topics (for periods of 3–12 months). The fellows will be provided with scholarships, travel allowance, research allowance including support for accompanying family members. Applications from interested candidates are accepted until April.

Program Details

The University of Bonn currently has a large number of collaborations with universities and research institutes in Africa, Asia and Latin America. As shown by the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) index, implementing the Sustainable Development Goals poses considerable challenges for many countries in these regions.

Through this fellowship program, tenured faculty (in the rank of professor) at the University of Bonn can invite international postdoctoral fellows for a joint research project on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The goal is to support talented researchers and build and strengthen networks through them.
