ICP Fellowship Program-Research Opportunity in Germany on Climate Change and Carbon Markets
International Climate Protection Fellowship (ICP)
With the International Climate Protection Fellowships (ICP), the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation
enables prospective leaders working practically to implement a research-based proposal in the
field of climate protection or climate-related resource conservation during a one-year stay in
Germany.
Up to 15 International Climate Protection Fellowships are granted annually, funded under the
International Climate Initiative (IKI) 1 . The fellowships target prospective leaders from non European transition and developing countries (see list of countries), who possess extensive work
experience outside academia. Candidates draw up their own research-based proposal which they
then implement in collaboration with a host in Germany. The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation
runs the programme in cooperation with the Centre for International Postgraduate Studies in
Environmental Management (CIPSEM) at TU Dresden, the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt
(DBU), the Renewables Academy AG (RENAC), the Gesellschaft für Internationale
Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Federation of
German Industry (BDI).
