German Federal Environmental Foundation
The German Federal Environmental Foundation (Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt, DBU), in accordance with its foundation goals and mission statement, supports innovative, exemplary and solution-oriented proposals for the protection of the environment. Funded projects should achieve sustainable effects in practice, give impulses and lead to a »multiplier effect«. It is the objective of the DBU to contribute to the solution of current environmental problems, in particular, which result from unsustainable business practices and lifestyles. The DBU sees the crucial challenges primarily in the areas of climate change, biodiversity loss, unsustainable use of natural resources, and harmful emissions. The funding topics are linked both to current scientific findings on the Planetary Boundaries and to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
CEE Fellowship Programme (Details: https://www.dbu.de/2600.html ):
The DBU awards up to 60 fellowships per year for advanced scientific and/or professional qualification in all fields of environmental protection and nature conservation. Highly qualified graduates of all disciplines from the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) are welcome to apply. The DBU fellowship covers a 6–12 months stay at German host institutions: universities, research institutes, companies, environmental and nature protection agencies and authorities, NGOs, associations, etc. During the fellowship practical solutions for current environmental issues are developed. After their stay in Germany the alumni are well qualified to tackle these issues in their home countries thus assuring efficient knowledge transfer. Working closely together in an international context helps to breakdown existing barriers. The acquired contacts will create a strong Europe-wide network of highly committed environmental experts.
