This Visiting Research Professorship in Germany aims at promoting research into education for sustainable peace with particular focus on educational media. The appointment is for three to six months per year and offers distinguished scholars from various disciplines (e.g. from the humanities, political and social sciences, education sciences or law) the opportunity to conduct research projects and/or finish major publications in a stimulating research environment without teaching or administrative obligations. The visiting professor is however expected to participate in a one-week international summer school for young scholars and to develop the concept for an international symposium to be held at the end of the visiting professor�s stay. The organization of both activities will be carried out by the program�s coordinator at the GEI.

Individuals with extensive high-level international experience in government or non-governmental organizations may also apply.
