ISA is a project of the Schutzgemeinschaft Deutscher Wald Lv. Hamburg e.V. (SDW) [The Protective Association for the German Forest] and is located in Hamburg in the WÄLDERHAUS. The goal is to support and strengthen international cooperation in the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
During the period of sponsorship until 2024, the ISA offers up to 12-18 students and professionals every year (see requirements) an 8-month research stay in Hamburg, together with a further month of sponsorship in their home country in order there to complete and customize the results of the research report. The primary focus is on the close exchange of know-how amongst the scholarship holders during their individual research work. Further focal points of the program are training courses and internships developed together with the scholarship-holders, visits to Best Practice companies and institutions. Students will be supervised and supported in the subject matter by the ISA and selected universities and research centres.
The costs for accommodation in shared-flat the work station, the costs of return flights, health insurance and a 6-week German language course will be taken over. In addition, each sponsorship holder will receive an amount of money for the research work.
An application is only possible online using the template on the website. Closing date for applications is 6 months before the beginning of the respective program course.
