Hermes Fellowships were designed to offer young and promising foreign researchers in the humanities and social sciences the chance to be visiting researchers in French universities and research centers. This program is open to researchers from: China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Latin America, and South Africa.
The Hermes Program is financed by the French Ministries of Foreign Affairs and of Education and Research, the Department of Human and Social Sciences of the National Center of Scientific Research (CNRS), and the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme (FMSH).
A partir de l’année 2010 les bourses Hermès s’intègrent, tout en gardant leur identité propre, dans le nouveau programme « Fernand Braudel-IFER » (International Fellowships for Experienced Researchers) soutenu par l’Union européenne (Programme Action Marie Curie – COFUND – 7ème PCRD).
