Daimler und Benz Stiftung supports independent, curiosity-driven science with a strong emphasis on the relationship between people, the environment, and technology, especially when the work has clear societal relevance. It favors early-career researchers, interdisciplinary consortia, and programs that connect research with public discourse, while also recognizing women in engineering and fostering German-African research collaboration. Overall, this is a German research foundation that gives through a mix of fellowships, prizes, collaborative project grants, conference support, and science communication funding.
Gives through a structured mix of annual programs, prizes, and periodic calls; typical awards range from about €15,000 to €300,000, with larger multi-year collaborative grants and smaller event or fellowship support. Some programs are invite-only or nomination-based, while others accept competitive applications on fixed deadlines or continuous intake, depending on the program.

Watch the foundation’s website closely for program-specific calls, since some opportunities are annual, some irregular, and some continuous. Tailor proposals to interdisciplinary relevance and societal impact, and for larger programs like Ladenburger Horizonte or Ladenburger Kolleg, show strong coordination, clear research leadership, and a collaborative structure across institutions. For the prize and some fellowship programs, eligibility is narrowly defined, so check geography, career stage, and nomination/invite-only rules before preparing materials.
