Professors and married couple Martina Havenith & Albert Newen are expanding the global reach of German research by recruiting outstanding scientists from underrepresented regions through the Henriette Herz Scouting Programme.

Read their story here: www.humboldt-foundation.de/en/explore/n...
The image features the logo of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in the upper left corner. Below it, two green boxes display quotes. The first quote, from Prof. Martina Havenith, reads: “The Henriette Herz Scouting Programme gives me the speed I need to really recruit the best of the best for my group.” A photo of a woman wearing glasses appears beside the quote, with her name, Prof. Martina Havenith, written below. The second green box contains a quote from Prof. Albert Newen: “As a scout, I can unlock potential that would otherwise have been lost to science.” A smiling man with glasses is shown next to the quote, with his name, Prof. Albert Newen, written underneath. At the bottom right, the text reads: “Henriette Herz Programme Scouts, Ruhr Universität Bochum.”
