The purpose of the scholarship is to support those who, in addition to producing excellent work in their area of expertise, are also open to other interdisciplinary approaches, following the example set by Albert Einstein. In addition to that, the Albert Einstein Scholarship supports creative and interdisciplinary thinking by giving young academics the opportunity to conduct research outside of their previous area of work.
