Guests at the Faculty : Humboldt Research Award and Humboldt Research Fellowship

The institutes of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodetic Science regularly host researchers at various stages of their career who receive a sponsorship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (or other foundations). The sponsorship gives them the opportunity to conduct a research project of their choice in cooperation with specialist colleagues at the Faculty.

  • Politecnico di Milano
  • Singapore University of Technology and Design
  • Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
  • Adolfo Ibañez University
  • Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
  • University of Wollongong
  • Chongqing University
  • Shandong University
  • Northwestern Polytechnical University
  • Beijing Institute of Technology
  • Indian Institute of Technology Madras
  • Indian Institute of Technology Delhi
