Scholarships and awards for young scientists
The foundation has awarded several scholarships since its establishment. According to the limitation laid down in the statutes, these are not living stipends, but rather support of a maximum of 6000 € per year to qualified young scientists (especially doctoral students). As far as research grants for young Jewish scientists are concerned, the foundation coordinates with the State Association of Jewish Communities in Hessen. As a rule, funding is conditional on the research project having a close connection to Erwin Stein's life or work and thus to the profile of the foundation. The following are some examples of previous funding activities:
