Endowed Professorships

Through endowed professorships and visiting endowed professorships, research and teaching receive additional emphasis. Unlike regular professorships, endowed professorships and visiting endowed professorships are funded by foundations and other third-party donors and are initially time-limited.

The Humboldt University of Berlin understands endowed professorships to include all professorships financed by third-party funds. Typically, endowed professorships transition into the university's structure after the funding period ends; in other cases, the professorship expires with the end of the financing or continues to be partially funded by third-party support.

Endowed visiting professorships refer to teaching offers financed by third-party funds and provided by rotating scholars. These include long-term collaborations with individual private and public donors, as well as specific formats such as the DAAD Visiting Professorship.
