ERA Fellowships – Green Hydrogen
The ERA Fellowships – Green Hydrogen programme, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), is complemented by comprehensive networking measures and the establishment of four working groups. Fellows will continue to be involved in those after the end of the funding period and thus will both receive and offer long-term support from and to the German research and innovation location for green hydrogen.
Who can apply?
PhD students who are interested in any topics related to Green Hydrogen (GH2) and want to be an active part in one of the four working groups:
- Production
- Transport and Infrastructure
- Market stimulation (i.e. further development of the market for hydrogen)
- Cross-cutting issues (i.e. regulation, socio-economic and legal framework)
What can be funded?
The programme provides funding for:
- A research project or continuing academic training at a state or state-recognised university in Germany or a non-university research insti-tute, which is being carried out in agreement with a supervisor in Germany or
- A self-organized internship in a company or a non-university institution in the field of GH2 in Germany.
The fellowship grants access to international working groups and expects active participation and involvement in a group that is supposed to continue after the fellowship ends. Here you can learn more about the working groups.
Duration of the funding: 1 to 24 months for research fellowships and 2 to 3 months for internships. The fellowship cannot be extended.
Application deadline
Applications can be submitted anytime.
The fellowship can be commenced at the beginning of each month.
Please note that applications must be submitted at least 4 months before the planned starting date.
Funding for the fellowship programme is available until the end of 2026. Please keep this in mind if you want to apply for a fellowship for more than 18 months.
