The AvH enables highly qualified scientists and scholars of all disciplines and nationalities to carry out long-term research projects in Germany.

The AvH promotes an active world-wide network of scholars. Individual sponsorship during periods spent in Germany and longstanding follow-up contacts have been hallmarks of the foundation's work since 1953.
