Contribute to the promotion of early-career researchers at ABI

The Arnold Bergstraesser Institute is a registered non-profit association (eingetragener Verein) recognized as a charitable organization. The Institute’s work is funded through public grants from the State of Baden-Württemberg as well as through competitively acquired third-party funding.

The ABI’s support for early-career researchers – in particular, the annually awarded Arnold Bergstraesser Prize – is financed through donations. The prize, endowed with €1,000, is awarded for an outstanding doctoral dissertation in the humanities or social sciences that, in the tradition of Arnold Bergstraesser, engages with political and societal transformations in countries of the Global South. The prize is awarded annually by the university rector during a ceremony held at the start of the winter semester to mark the opening of the academic year at the University of Freiburg.

Especially in the early career stages, funding for researchers is a key opportunity to develop a firm foothold in academia. Awards such as the Arnold Bergstraesser Prize provide visibility and recognition in the scientific community and strengthen the scientific profile of young researchers in this often critical career phase.
