Abstract :
The German Research Foundation (DFG) has launched the prestigious Mercator Visiting Professorships program. This program enables Germanys research universities to invite highly qualified foreign researchers working abroad to complete a DFG-funded research stay at a university in Germany. The visit should focus on joint cooperative projects by the guest and host and include some teaching duties in order to provide an international dimension to the research-oriented training of young researchers in the host departments. Similar exchange programs for scientists are available from the German Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH), especially for American Scientists.
