Every year, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation grants up to 100 Humboldt Research Awards to internationally leading researchers from abroad, whose fundamental discoveries, new theories or findings have had a lasting effect on their discipline beyond their immediate research area and who are expected to continue producing outstanding research in the future.
As this award comes with funding to spend some time in research departments in Germany, Jérôme Lang will work at the Universität Düsseldorf and Technische Universität Berlin.
