Annette Barthelt-Stiftung e.V. is a small German foundation with two distinct priorities: honoring young marine researchers and supporting work that confronts terrorism, political violence, and victim trauma. Its marine science award is a structured annual program for early-career researchers whose theses are tied to ship-based expeditions, while its citizenship prize is an irregular, mostly invite-only recognition for organizations or individuals providing victim support, reconciliation, or public engagement on terrorism’s consequences. The foundation appears to favor high-impact, highly specific work rather than broad program funding, and its awards are closely tied to German institutions and networks.
Small, targeted awards in the €6,000 range, with one annual open call for marine research and a separate irregular, invite-only citizenship prize for terrorism/victim-support work.
For the marine research prize, monitor the annual spring call and submit only if the work is a thesis linked to a ship expedition at a German institution. The citizenship prize is not open to unsolicited applications, so nonprofits working on victim support or anti-terrorism issues should build visibility within relevant German networks rather than expect a public application process.
