Lindemann Fellowship for Private International Law: Call for Applications 2026

The Lindemann Fellowship was established in 2024 to support promising academics in Europe in the field of private international law. 

Fellows are accepted for a three-year period, with new Fellows joining each year, as existing Fellows complete their tenure. 

The core of the Fellowship is an annual, fully funded meeting of the Fellows and coordinators, lasting two days, where Fellows present their current research. Afterwards the papers are published in an Open Access collected volume. The meetings offer younger scholars a valuable opportunity to engage with other highly skilled Fellows from across Europe.

The next annual meeting will be held in April 2027 at the University of Maastricht, hosted by Marta Pertegás Sender.

Young scholars whose primary area of research is in private international law are invited to apply to become Fellows.

Candidates who have completed their PhD may apply within four years after defending their PhD. Those who expect to submit their PhD within a year and have an outstanding academic background are also encouraged to apply. Applicants must be based within Europe (not restricted to the European Union).

Applications must be submitted by 1 November 2026 to lindemann-fellowship@uni-hamburg.de.

The call for applications can be found here. Further details about the Fellowship, the Fellows and coordinators here. 

The Fellowship is generously funded by the Lindemann Foundation.
