The Gerda Henkel Foundation supports Consolidator Fellowships at Historisches Kolleg in Munich, Germany, as part of its international fellowship partnerships. Founded in 1980 as an Institute for Advanced Study, the Kolleg supports researchers across the historical sciences from Germany and abroad. Its appointments provide an opportunity to concentrate on a major scholarly work, or “magnum opus,” freed from university duties.
The Foundation has provided funding for four Gerda Henkel Consolidator Fellowships for outstanding young researchers. These sit within the Kolleg’s broader support for historical scholarship, including bursaries awarded since 1988 to give postdoctoral researchers time for their work and close professional contact with established scholars. The partnership also forms part of the Foundation’s wider aim of promoting international research collaboration.
