Check this out, interested and belong to their target group?

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation's new fellowship programme promotes prospective leaders from threshold and developing countries who are engaged in climate protection and resource conservation in academia, business, government or non-governmental organisations.

Up to twenty fellows are scheduled to be funded annually. They will come to Germany for a year to collaborate with host partners on joint projects which promote the exchange of knowledge, methods and techniques.

The aim is to create a network of German and foreign experts who work together to combat climate change and its global consequences on a sustainable, international basis. The fellowships are funded through the Federal Environment Ministry's (BMU) International Climate Protection Initiative.

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation is running the programme in cooperation with the Federation of German Industries (BDI), the Centre for International Postgraduate Studies in Environmental Management (CIPSEM) at the TU Dresden, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU), the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) and the Renewables Academy AG (RENAC). The closing date for the first round of applications is 15 January 2010. The fellowship programme commences on 1 September 2010.
