Thanks for the report. Can you tell me if Lichtenberg Professorships calls are every year?

Dear Alessandro,

On the webpage they say there is a call deadline on 1st June 2016 and 1st June 2017. So I guess they will probably have it in 2018 too even.

The list of deadlines for all Volkswagen Foundation funding is given here: https://www.volkswagenstiftung.de/en/funding/application-deadlines.html

There is a call specifically for researchers from the Humanities and Cultural Studies: https://www.volkswagenstiftung.de/en/funding/challenges-for-academia-and-society/original-isnt-it.html

Regards,

Brian
