Eva-Kleinn-Scholarship
Doing research in countries of the post-soviet region in memory of Eva Kleinn
The landscape ecologist Eva Kleinn (1971-2005) has made an extraordinary contribution to the protection of nature, sustainable regional development and intercultural communication in Russia and the countries of Central Asia and the Caspian region.
This scholarship is intended to keep the memory of her tireless work alive. At the same time, it is designed to enable young domestic and foreign scientists to carry out research in this region in order to continue the work of Eva Kleinn in her spirit.
- Upon application, the scholarship may be awarded to students, graduates and doctoral students from the University of Greifswald and to applicants from the countries named above.
- Applicants must work on a topic or project concerning nature conservation, ecological education, or sustainable development according to the foundation’s motto "Preserve – Sustain – Value", and contributing to intercultural communication.

- After six months, recipients are expected to submit a brief summary of the sponsored project; upon completion, the project results are to be turned over to the foundation.
