Every year, the Alexander von Humbolt Foundation enables more than 2,000 researchers from all over the world to spend time conducting research in Germany. Today, the Foundation maintains an interdisciplinary network of well over 30,000 Humboldtians in more than 140 countries around the world. As a Henriette-Herz-Scout, Prof. Dr. Simone M.
