Minerva Schools are intended to bring together young Israeli and German scientists through conferences and workshops. The Schools are orientated particularly towards PhD-students and post-doctoral researchers and aim at enabling first contacts, scientific exchange as well as interaction with select senior scientists. In both countries, the participants should come from different institutions. In addition to the Israeli and German participants, also scientists from other countries can be included in the programme.

Eligible as applicants are scientists from all German universities and non-university research institutions and from the six Israeli universities (Tel Aviv University, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Bar-Ilan University, Technion, University of Haifa and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev) and the Weizmann Institute of Science together with (a) colleague(s) from the respective other country. Post-Docs who are working independently on their own projects (group leaders) or younger professors will be given preference in the selection process.

More information can be found in the call for proposals and on the Minerva website. Deadline: February 4th, 2022.
