The DFJW offers scholarships to support mandatory internships in France that are recognized by the student’s home university in Germany as part of their degree program or are at least strongly recommended. Students from all departments under the age of 31 are eligible for funding for an internship lasting 1 to 3 months. As students with permanent residence in Germany, you can therefore apply for this internship scholarship at any time.

The scholarship can be combined with an internship stipend or another scholarship (except for financial aid from the DAAD or the DFH). At the end of the internship, interns are required to submit an approximately 5-page internship report in French or German.

As part of the “Diversity and Participation” strategy, the scholarship is awarded exclusively to participants who would not be able to complete an internship in the partner country without support from the DFJW. The declaration for young people with special needs (on the third page of the application form) is therefore required for the application to be processed.
More information about the scholarship and the application process can be found at the link provided above.

The PRAXES program is aimed at young adults between the ages of 18 and 30 who are residents of Germany and who wish to complete a voluntary internship abroad in France, regardless of their educational background or employment status.

Not only will you gain insight into everyday professional life in another country and discover new cultural and lifestyle habits, but you will also expand your professional, social, and personal skills. This allows you to enhance your resume while simultaneously improving your French language skills.

Participants are responsible for finding their own internship in France, which lasts between one and six months. You can find current internship opportunities, for example, on the PRAXES job board. The DFJW issues the “convention de stage” (internship agreement) required for internships in France. In addition, educational support is provided throughout the entire duration of the internship, for example, in the form of phone calls and self-assessment questionnaires.

The DFJW covers the costs of supplemental insurance for the duration of the internship. This includes international travel health insurance, accident insurance, and liability insurance (see “Additional Information”). Before your internship begins, please check with your insurance provider to determine what insurance coverage is required and available to you during your stay abroad (a European Health Insurance Card is required to participate in the PRAXES program).

It is also possible to combine the PRAXES internship with the Parkur platform or the “Job/Internship in a Partner City ” program.

In the international exchange of foreign language assistants (FSA), students participate in foreign language instruction at an educational institution abroad.
They gain insight into the host country’s education system and its teaching methods. At the same time, the FSAs expand their language skills and methodological and didactic abilities during this practical phase. The program provides prospective teachers with intensive training in language skills and teaching methodology. As young, motivated native speakers with a deep understanding of their country’s culture, they enrich and enliven the classroom at their host institutions.

The International Association for Québec Studies supports higher education institutions dedicated to Québec studies in participating in and organizing academic events by providing logistical and financial support, thereby granting them privileged access to an interdisciplinary international community. Its goal is to contribute to greater awareness and understanding of Québec on an international level.

The Franco-German Doctoral College “Thinking Differences: Science, Public Sphere, Politics” (“Construire les différences: sciences, sphère publique, politique”) is the result of a partnership between the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris, Humboldt University (HU) in Berlin, the TUD Dresden University of Technology, and Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main. The program accepts doctoral students in the humanities and social sciences, offering them a structured, interdisciplinary, intercultural, cross-border, and bilingual exchange within the framework of the program. In particular, the program supports comparative research based on the scholarly approach of “histoire croisée.” The program focuses on the interweaving of various disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, along with their respective academic traditions and methodological approaches. During its current funding period, from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2027, the Franco-German Doctoral College is funded by the Franco-German University in Saarbrücken.

As a research and documentation center for the cultural and social sciences, the dfi fulfills a number of important functions in the field of France-focused research. The dfi’s France Library, founded in 1990, offers ideal working and documentation facilities in this context.

The dfi is particularly committed to making its own research and documentation resources available to all interested scholars. Above all, the aim is to support high-quality, France-related work by early-career scholars.

For this reason, the Institute (with financial support from the Wüstenrot Stiftung Deutscher Eigenheimverein e.V.) has established a program to support early-career researchers (undergraduates and doctoral students) in the fields of cultural and social science research on France, comparative regional studies, or German-French relations. This program supports research stays at the German-French Institute.

The historians at the DHIP conduct research on topics in Western European history from late antiquity to the present. To this end, they organize events and publish articles and monographs. In several basic research projects, important sources are cataloged, edited, and made available in databases.

The DHIP publishes research findings and maintains a multilingual specialized academic library. In addition, the DHIP organizes lecture series, conferences, seminars, and workshops to foster dialogue among scholars from diverse backgrounds and to address current topics in the humanities.

As an institution dedicated to research and the training of early-career researchers, the Centre Marc Bloch is distinguished by its interdisciplinary approach and its Franco-German character. Interdisciplinary exchange is an essential component of all the Center’s projects, research areas, and research groups, which represent the various fields of the humanities and social sciences.

This Franco-German orientation forms the basis for cooperation with other countries, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, and is also reflected in the selection of researchers and doctoral students, in the working methods of the research groups, in the Center’s projects, and in the organization of conferences and lectures that regularly bring together German and French partners.

As a leading hub for networking among universities, research institutions, and scholars, the Centre Marc Bloch also serves as an important bridge between France and Germany.

The research grant program aims to promote and support scholarly work in the humanities and social sciences related to Quebec’s documentary heritage; topics related to the mandates of the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ); metadata on BAnQ documents; and data generated by BAnQ activities.

The Society for Canadian Studies in German-Speaking Countries e.V. (GKS) is a nonprofit association with currently 506 members (as of Feb. 2017). Its primary focus is coordinating Canada-related scholarly activities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The GKS’s objectives are enshrined in its bylaws and are realized through a range of activities, such as the promotion and support of Canadian studies in the broadest sense; multi- and interdisciplinary collaboration at the national and international levels; deepening academic and cultural relations between Canada and German-speaking countries
