The Emmy Noether Program is a program introduced by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) in 1997 aiming to support exceptionally qualified early career scientists. It was named after German mathematician Emmy Noether.[1]

Program

Through the program, the participants are given the opportunity to lead a junior research group and to satisfy the prerequisites for appointment as a university professor. At the same time, the program aims to attract foreign talent to Germany and to keep talented German scientists from emigrating.

The program is very competitive. Potential fellows have to "demonstrate significant achievements and the ability to lead from the early stages of their career on as well as substantial international experience and visibility".[2] The application must describe a concrete research project that the potential fellow aims to conduct with their group. If successful, the duration of the fellowship is six years, in which the fellow is granted a salary as well as all funds necessary to build the group and complete the project.

Emmy Noether Meetings

Since 2001, the Emmy Noether fellows meet at the so called Emmy Noether Meetings to stimulate exchange and discussion between the fellows but also with politics and DFG officials. [3]
