Deutschlandstipendium Themenklasse at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany

Scholarship overview

The Themenklasse (thematic class) combines the Deutschlandstipendium with interdisciplinary research. HU developed the format in 2013. Up to 15 students from different disciplines work together on one interdisciplinary topic for two semesters, are involved in current research projects and exchange ideas with researchers.

The Themenklasse "Sustainability and Global Justice" is based at IRI THESys, with changing focus each year, and has been funded by the Stiftung Humboldt-Universität since 2013. Members receive the Deutschlandstipendium.
