The Zukunftskolleg Konnect scholarships support early career researchers from Africa, Asia and Latin America linked to one of the thirteen departments of the University of Constance. As a ZUKOnnect Fellow, you can use this time to expand your research networks and discover the research environment at the University of Constance, without losing your links with your home university. As these scholarships can constitute a first bridge to the German and European academic system, we also encourage doctoral students in their final year to apply. The Zukunftskolleg will not offer an employment contract to ZUKOnnect fellows.
After the research stay at the Zukunftskolleg, ZUKOnnect fellows can extend their affiliation to a digital fellowship for an additional 6 months.
