Deadline: October 15, 2024

We live in times of global uncertainty – this is the tenor of many current debates. Whether it is the consequences of climate change, the Russian war against Ukraine, political polarization and erosion of democratic institutions, the current inflation, the as yet unknown effects of technological innovations or the challenges of global health crises: Uncertainty has become a defining characteristic of our time.

The interdisciplinary, international Scholarship Program “Uncertainty” by ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS reacts to these diagnoses of the times. We invite research proposals from the Humanities, Social Studies, Economics and Law shedding light on this complex issue. The program includes scholarships for different stages of Ph.D. research: six-month “Start Up Scholarships”, “Ph.D Scholarships” of one to three years and “Dissertation Completion Scholarships” of one year. In addition, the Foundation fosters ideas, interdisciplinary exchange, mutual learning and networking through workshops and annual conferences.
