In addition, they can receive grants for travel expenses e.g. for trips to archives, research institutes, conferences and libraries worldwide, as well as support for health insurance and childcare.

Fellows remain at their respective universities and come together for two workshops organized jointly by the Leo Baeck Institute London, the Leibniz Institute for Jewish History and Culture – Simon Dubnow and the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes. The programme is named after Rabbi Dr. Leo Baeck (1873-1956), one of the most significant figures in German-Jewish history in the 20th century.
