The Minerva Fellowship Programme (funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research) enables Israeli and German scientists to complete a research residency at institutions in the respective other country. Minerva Fellowships are not only intended to promote research but also to strengthen the cultural and scientific exchange between Germany and Israel. Younger scientists (graduates and post docs) are offered the opportunity to further their scientific background while they conduct a research project at their host institution in Israel or Germany. To date, more than 1,700 Minerva Fellowships have been awarded to German and Israeli researchers since the start of the programme in 1973.
