SiPEO always welcome enthusiastic researchers all over the world. In 2017, up to 20 fellowships will be awarded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation to prospective leaders from non-European transition or developing countries, who are active in any of the following areas: scientific, engineering-based, legal, economic, health-related or social aspects of climate change. The young climate experts will come to Germany for a year to work alongside a host of their own choosing on a research-related project.

Prospective leaders, especially those who are in their early leading positions, are welcomed to join SiPEO as a prestigous Alexander von Humboldt fellow. The closing date for applications is 1 March 2017. The fellowship will begin on 1 March 2018.
