Dear Friends and Partners of the University of Freiburg,
The Freiburg Rising Stars Academy has proven to be a successful gateway for the next generation of excellent scientists to the research community of Freiburg and beyond. Connecting highly qualified international early career researchers to Freiburg scientists will create and enhance international cooperation for years to come.
This year, the Academy partners with new research institutions from a variety of fields, offering 2 different tracks to PhD Candidates, PostDocs and young talents at a similar career stage.
Track 1 allows prospective rising stars to apply directly with one of our 18 Host-PIs hailing from one of these institutions:

Track 2 invites open thematic applications to one of our three host-institutions: livMatS, IMBIT and FRIBIS, allowing prospective rising stars to be matched with any of the researchers working with our host institutions.
What does the Freiburg Rising Stars Academy offer?
Once accepted to the Academy, Rising Stars will work jointly on research projects, gain access to top-level research infrastructure, develop new ideas, get to know team members, and gain international experience.
All Rising Stars will be invited to Freiburg from March 11 to March 15, 2024 for a scientific conference and to spend time in our state-of-the-art research infrastructures.
