Fellowships 2009 For German Scholars From Foundation Of Polish Science
Fellowship Background:
Since 1996, these fellowships have been awarded by the Foundation for Polish Science to eminent German scholars. A scheme of outstanding importance, it is the equivalent of Humboldt-Forschungspreise, the prestigious award granted by the well-known Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung of Germany to eminent foreign scholars. It is intended as a form of appreciation for the outstanding achievements of its beneficiaries, at the same time being aimed at stimulating long-term co-operation between Polish and German scholars.
The Honorary Fellowships are awarded based on an agreement made in 1995 between the FNP and the Humboldt Foundation, as a result of which the Foundation for Polish Science joined a group of similar organisations from 19 countries-signatories of bilateral partnership agreements under which grants are mutually awarded to eminent scholars from Germany and the other country. The grantees are invited to carry out research projects of their choice in the host country, in co-operation with their colleagues there.
The title of this fellowship is a reference to the best tradition of co-operation between Polish and German scholars. It is named after Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), a German natural scientist, explorer and geographer. Often collaborating with Polish scholars, he was an Honorary Member of the Warsaw Society of the Friends of Science and the first promoter of Adam Mickiewicz’s poetry in Germany.

Studentships 2009 For Doctoral Students At University Of Warsaw – Poland
Studentship Description:
Ph.D. Programme: Mathematical Methods in Natural Sciences (MMNS) aims to provide research programmes covering modelling, mathematical/numerical analysis and computer implementation/simulation of the investigated models. Each Ph.D. project is meant to provide a better understanding of certain phenomena arising from industrial innovations, natural or medical sciences. The ambition is to equip the students with the manifold qualifications expected from future leading researchers in academia and industry.
Ph.D. students participating in the project will be provided with intensive training in innovative mathematical methods for complex structures and processes. Moreover MMNS will hold an international visitors programme, embedded in a world-wide network of partner institutions. Specific measures and incentives will promote the early integration of doctoral students into the international scientific community and foster application of modern mathematical methods to challenging problems in biosciences and material sciences. The programme will strongly collaborate with the international network of partners and will promote transfer of new methodologies to industry.
