Programme Description
The Heinrich Böll Foundation, which maintains close ties with the German Green Party, awards scholarships for German and international doctoral candidates from any discipline.

They are prepared to take responsibility and advocate the green Foundation's ideals in an international context: the concepts of democracy, ecology, solidarity and nonviolence.
