DAAD STIPENDIJE ZA UČEŠĆE NA LETNjOJ ŠKOLI – FORSTER SUMMER SCHOOL 2019, 26th JULY – 6th AUGUST, MAINZ, GERMANY

This year, the Faculty of Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Geography and Geosciences (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz) is organizing the SECOND FORSTER SUMMER SCHOOL. This event offers Bachelor and Master students the opportunity to establish an international network and participate in interdisciplinary knowledge transfer. Students get to know Mainz as a place to study and develop their language and cultural skills. The topic of the upcoming event will be Alexander von Humboldt.

Alexander von Humboldt has been an important figure in various scientific disciplines, but also in public debate and discourse. The bestselling novel Measuring the World and its film adaptation bear witness to this. While Humboldt was marginalised for a long time in the German-speaking world, there was a permanent awareness of the great natural and cultural scientist in many other countries. In 2019, the year of Humboldt´s 250th birthday, the Forster Summer School will systematically analyze and highlight the paths, works and effects of this outstanding researcher, scholar and writer as well as examine connections and cross-connections within the disciplines of our Faculty.

The German Academic Exchange Service DAAD supports the Forster Summer School with providing 15 scholarships for non-German foreign students. The scholarship covers the travel expenses to Mainz (according to the DAAD travel allowances) and partly the accommodation.
