Fellowship Facilitation

ACT, the Africa Centre for Transregional Research, supports visiting scholars from African countries in their search for opportunities to be accepted as fellows at the University of Freiburg. We are also happy to connect you with other universities in Baden-Württemberg.

ACT offers additional services to successful applicants affiliated with the University of Freiburg and facilitates connections between participating university institutions.

In addition, we support all African fellows at universities in Baden-Württemberg in the following ways:

• Facilitating contacts with ACT’s academic staff to initiate collaborations
• Networking in an academic context with other institutions at the University of Freiburg and in the surrounding area (e.g., African associations, Bosch College, Freiburg City Museums, Freiburg Theater, City Administration, etc.)
• Additional options for collaboration with ACT, provided your research project is compatible with the ACT projects listed below:
  • Production of a video format
  • Participation in the Freiburg Africa Talks
  • Participation in colloquia at partner institutions (e.g., ABI)
  • Arranging lectures at partner institutions in Freiburg, Baden-Württemberg, and beyond
