Historical and intellectual roots
● Alexander von Humboldt (1769 - 1859): discoverer, universal scholar, cosmopolitan and patron of excellent scientific talent
● 1953: establishment of today’s Alexander von Humboldt Foundation based in Bonn Bad-Godesberg
● international network of academic cooperation and trust inspired by Humboldt’s example
![Page 4: Exzellenz verbindet – be part of a worldwide network The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation – Fostering Excellence Worldwide Dr. Steffen Mehlich Director.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab05997814f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Principles of the Foundation
● sole selection criterion: academic excellence
● no quotas for countries or disciplines
● sponsorship of people, not projects
● free choice of academic host/collaborative partner in Germany
● independent scientific research, not stipulated by the Foundation
![Page 5: Exzellenz verbindet – be part of a worldwide network The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation – Fostering Excellence Worldwide Dr. Steffen Mehlich Director.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab05997814f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Equal opportunities for female academics
