The Food Security Center (FSC) is a newly established university center of excellence in development collaboration at the University of Hohenheim.

FSC offers three categories of scholarships: 1. Sandwich scholarships for PhD students (6 months) 2. Research scholarships for visiting postdoctoral researchers (4 months) 3. Excellence scholarships for FSC-supported PhD program “Young Excellence School” (36 months) In category 1 and 2, FSC scholarships will support researchers from developing countries to conduct their research either at the University of Hohenheim (South–North) or at a national or international research institute in a developing country, for instance one of the centers of the CGIAR (South–South). There are few scholarships for students and postdoctoral researchers of the University of Hohenheim to visit a research institute in a developing country (North–South). The application deadline for all scholarships in category 1 and 2 is 30/01/10. Selection is carried out on a competitive basis and the decisions will be communicated up to March 16, 2010.
