You may write in either English or German; we recommend that you use the language in which you are most proficient.

The primary academic advisor mails an up-to-date reference directly to the IEG by the application deadline to: fellowship@ieg-mainz.de

The letter of reference should discuss (please avoid a general letter of recommendation):
– The applicant’s academic qualifications
– Topic matter, goal and current state of the PhD project
– A synopsis of work to be done in Mainz along with possible time and work schedules

Additionally, you will need a potential second referee, who will be contacted directly by the IEG (see application form under 14b). We recommend that you inform the potential second referee about your application and a potential letter of reference in advance.

Letters of reference should contain information on the question, method, results, and representation of your research project. Additionally, they should also give an evaluation regarding the recent state of research on the topic.
