Alexander von Humboldt Professorship
Germany's most valuable research award
The Humboldt Professorship is financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. It enables the holder to conduct forward-thinking, long-term research at universities and research institutions in this country and makes a sustainable contribution to Germany’s ability to compete internationally as a location for research. Since 2008, up to ten Humboldt Professorships have been granted every year as part of the International Research Fund for Germany. In 2020, additional Alexander von Humboldt Professorships for Artificial Intelligence (AI) were created.
