Testimonials
„I highly value the opportunity to come to the Bayreuth campus and collaborate with my host, Professor Kuhn, one of the leading experimentalists in the area of planarian regulation and small RNAs. This provides a great impetus to my lab's computational work and further insights into their intricate mechanisms." Senior Fellow Professor Andrey Grigoriev
„I believe that I already sent you a short statement, but I now modified it a bit to resemble those examples that you sent me: I am delighted and humbled to have been awarded the Senior Fellowship and I am thrilled to collaborate with Profs Lippitz and Herink on quantum terahertz photonic systems. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain from each other’s complementary expertise and combine forces to produce new scientific knowledge and develop innovative applications." Senior Fellow Professor Jean-Michel Ménard
„This fellowship was the key to a new research field and experimental methods. My time spent at the University of Bayreuth broadened my perspectives, equipped me with new experimental methods and research techniques and contributed greatly to my development as a researcher and academic." Junior Fellow Dr Marilize Everts
„The fellowship period was very rewarding. My host, Prof. Tim Dorlarch made my research activities stimulating. The University library has a lot of research resources that were relevant to my study. The fellowship also made it possible for me to participate in the activities of the newly established Peace and Conflict Research Network of UBT. The experiences I gained during the fellowship are currently useful to my university in Nigeria. The staff of the Humboldt Centre and Welcome Services were very helpful and made my stay in Bayreuth very interesting. Special thanks to Sabine, Angela, Insa and Dominika." Junior Fellow Professor Nathaniel Umukoro

„It is both a great honour to receive the BHC Senior Fellowship and a splendid occasion to conduct in tandem with Professor Anno Mungen a potentially groundbreaking research project, whose significance resonates well beyond the Wagner festivals per se. It is no less an invaluable opportunity to further develop collaborative scholarship and maintain the traditions of indefatigable enquiry that stand proudly as the pillars of the Research Institute for Music Theatre Studies (fimt).“
Senior Fellow Professor Krzysztof Kozłowski
„I live in a country where mobility - research or otherwise - is restricted for a vast majority of people by poverty and danger to life and limb. In this context, international research mobility is not only a privilege, but a responsibility.“
Senior Fellow Professor Stephanus Muller
„My archival work this year has been hampered by limited time slots and pre-booking requirements in the archives. But this was not an issue at the University of Bayreuth, where I have had access to a nice office and where my host, Professor Klaeger, has ensured that I‘ve had a really fantastic and productive stay.“
Junior Fellow Dr Justin Begley
„I felt triumphant and grateful as I arrived in Bayreuth and began to work in my office at the department of the study of religion. This was especially so as I have fond memories of my earlier visit to Bayreuth university in 2010 where I attended a one-month summer academy organised by BIGSAS.“
Junior Fellow Dr Abdelmjid Kettioui
„Bayreuth University campus is wonderful, it is circular, so integrative and inclusive to all sciences (...). After remaining working at home due to COVID pandemic, Bayreuth campus has meant a boost of energy to me.“
Junior Fellow Dr Violeta Radovich
„Exchanges such as the possibility to work and discuss abroad not only have a scientific function, but also lead to the exchange of cultural aspects between researchers of different countries, and to the development of international networks. So as soon as travel bans were lifted, I bought a ticket to Bayreuth.“
