The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation has selected Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Stefan Rinke as a 'Talent Scout' in the newly launched Henriette Herz Scouting Program. Rinke now has the opportunity to nominate three excellent international researchers who will then receive a fellowship of up to 24 months if they fulfil the formal requirements. Stefan Rinke has already brought 20 historians sponsored by the Humboldt Foundation to the Latin America Institute, including five award winners.
