Vorwort

Liebe Humboldtianerinnen und Humboldtianer, verehrte Konferenzteilnehmer und Gäste,

die Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung vernetzt Deutschland mit dem Wissen der Welt. In
internationaler Konkurrenz um die Besten wirbt sie dazu mit verschiedenen Programmen um
Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher Karrierestufen. Die Förderung
umfasst sowohl die Finanzierung als auch die persönliche Betreuung in allen Fragen eines
Deutschlandaufenthaltes und späterer Kooperationen. Für diese bietet die Alexander von
Humboldt-Stiftung zahlreiche weitere Fördermöglichkeiten im Rahmen ihrer Alumni-Programme.
Auf diese Weise ist seit der Gründung der Stiftung im Jahre 1953 ein aktives internationales
Netzwerk von über 29.000 Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern entstanden. Nahezu alle
Fachgebiete und mehr als 140 Länder sind in dieser weltumspannenden Gemeinschaft von
Spitzenforschern vertreten – zum „Humboldt-Netzwerk“ gehören auch 55 Nobelpreisträger. Mit
den Humboldt-Kolloquien möchte die Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung ihr Netzwerk im Ausland
stärken, Kontakte zu den Geförderten und Partnern pflegen und ein Forum für Diskussion und
Austausch über Forschungstrends und Fragen der internationalen Forschungsförderung bieten.
Zugleich erhält eine ausgewählte Gruppe von Nachwuchswissenschaftlerinnen und
Nachwuchswissenschaftlern die Gelegenheit, sich über die Förderangebote der Stiftung und über
Forschungsmöglichkeiten in Deutschland zu informieren.
Der wissenschaftliche Austausch mit Argentinien hat großes Potential: 11,8% der Bevölkerung hat
ein abgeschlossenes Hochschulstudium, es gibt ca. 720 Forschende auf eine Million Einwohner* –
dies ist die höchste Zahl in Lateinamerika. Seit 1954 hat die Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung 414
Stipendien an Wissenschaftler und Wissenschaftlerinnen aus Argentinien vergeben, während 22
argentinische Forscher und Forscherinnen mit Forschungspreisen ausgezeichnet wurden. In
Uruguay haben wir ein kleineres Netzwerk mit 30 Stipendiaten und 2 Forschungspreisträgern. Die
Stiftung sieht noch größeres Potential, argentinische und uruguayische Wissenschaftlerinnen und
Wissenschaftler für ihre Programme zu gewinnen.
Die Förderphilosophie der Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung basiert auf dem Grundsatz, dass
Exzellenz in der Forschung am besten gedeiht, wenn Institutionen ihren Wissenschaftlern
Vertrauen und Freiräume schenken, damit diese ihrem Streben nach Erkenntnis folgen können. Das
Kolloquium nimmt daher insbesondere die Rolle neugiergetriebener Forschung in den Fokus.
Alexander von Humboldt dient dabei als Vorbild: Sein Leben als Entdecker zeigt, wozu
Wissenschaftler fähig sind, wenn sie ihrer Neugier freien Lauf lassen können.

Editorial

Dear Humboldtians, conference participants and guests,

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation links Germany to the knowledge of the world. In
international competition for the topmost experts, it offers to this end various programmes to attract
scientists and scholars at different stages of their careers. Support involves both funding and
personal support in all matters relating to a stay in Germany and to subsequent cooperations. For
the latter the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation offers numerous kinds of sponsorship in the
framework of the alumni programmes. In this way, an active international network of more than
29,000 academics has grown up since the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation was founded in
1953. Nearly every conceivable discipline and more than 140 countries are represented in this global
community of top researchers, which includes 55 Nobel Prize winners. The Humboldt Colloquia are
a format designed to strengthen the Humboldt Foundation’s network abroad, foster contact to its
sponsorship recipients and partners and provide a forum for debating and sharing current trends in
research and issues relating to international research funding. The colloquia also allow a selected
group of junior researchers to discover more about the funding programmes of the Foundation and
further funding opportunities in Germany.
The academic exchange with Argentina has great potential: 11,8% of the population has completed
university studies, there are around 720 researchers per one million inhabitants* – the highest
number in Latin America. Since 1954, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation has granted 414
fellowships to researchers from Argentina, whilst 22 scientists and scholars have received
prestigious research awards. In Uruguay we have a smaller network of 30 fellows und 2 research
award winners. There is still even greater potential for winning excellent researchers from Argentina
and Uruguay for the Foundation’s programmes.
The funding philosophy of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation is based on the principle that
excellence in research thrives best when institutions grant researchers trust and freedom so that
they can strive for gaining knowledge. Therefore, the Colloquium focuses especially on the role of
curiosity-driven research. In this context Alexander von Humboldt serves as an example: His life as
an explorer demonstrates what researchers are capable of when they are given free rein to their
curiosity.

Das Kolloquium bietet den teilnehmenden Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern die
Gelegenheit, ihr eigenes Forschungsthema im Rahmen von interdisziplinären Arbeitsgruppen
einem breiteren Fachpublikum vorzustellen und somit Impulse für fachliche und interdisziplinäre
Netzwerke zu geben und zu empfangen. In einer eigenen Session stellen ausgewählte qualifizierte
Nachwuchsforschende ihre Arbeit mit Postern vor. Unser Ziel ist es, sie an das Humboldt-Netzwerk
heranzuführen und für einen Forschungsaufenthalt in Deutschland zu gewinnen.
Humboldtianerinnen und Humboldtianer werden über ihre Erfahrungen in Deutschland berichten
und den Nachwuchs beraten. Die Rolle neugiergetriebener Forschung wird aus argentinischer und
uruguayischer Perspektive erörtert. Das abschließende World Café bietet Gelegenheit, Strategien
zur künftigen Einbindung der Humboldtianerinnen und Humboldtianer zu diskutieren.

Folgende Fragen stehen im Vordergrund:

• Welche Beispiele neugiergetriebener Forschung gibt es in Deutschland, Argentinien und
Uruguay?
• Worin bestehen die besonderen Chancen deutsch-argentinischer/-uruguayischer
Forschungskooperationen?
• Welche Rolle spielen das Humboldt-Netzwerk und Förderorganisationen wie die
Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung bei der Stärkung der Kooperation zwischen
Deutschland, Argentinien und Uruguay?
Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Humboldtianerinnen und Humboldtianer aus Argentinien und Uruguay
ebenso wie junge argentinische, uruguayische und deutsche Wissenschaftlerinnen und
Wissenschaftler zu den Teilnehmenden der Tagung zählen. Letztere wurden in Zusammenarbeit
mit den folgenden Partnerorganisationen ausgewählt: Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst
(DAAD), Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Nationaler Forschungsrat CONICET, Max-
Planck-Gesellschaft (MPG). Ich heiße Sie herzlich willkommen!
Mein Dank gilt allen, die die Vorbereitung tatkräftig unterstützt haben, insbesondere den
erwähnten Partnern. Vielen Dank für Ihr Engagement! Allen Vortragenden und Moderatoren danke
ich für ihren jeweiligen Beitrag zum Programm und allen Teilnehmenden für ihre Mitwirkung. Wir
ermuntern alle Teilnehmer, neue Kontakte zu knüpfen und so zur Gestaltung der
Wissenschaftskooperation zwischen Deutschland und Argentinien/Uruguay beizutragen. Ich
wünsche uns allen eine inspirierende Tagung!

Hans-Christian Pape, Präsident der Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung

The Colloquium provides the academics taking part with a platform to present their own research
topic to a wide specialist audience during interdisciplinary working groups and thus to generate
and receive ideas for specialist and interdisciplinary networking. At a dedicated session, selected
junior researchers will present their work with posters. The aim is to introduce them to the
Humboldt Network and win them for a research stay in Germany. Humboldtians will report on their
experiences in Germany and advise the junior researchers. The role of curiosity-driven research will
be considered from an Argentinian and Uruguayan perspective. The closing World Café session will
provide an opportunity to discuss visions and strategies to engage Humboldtians in the future.

The focus will be placed on the following questions:

• What are examples of curiosity-driven research in Germany, Argentina and Uruguay?
• What are the particular opportunities for German-Argentinian/Uruguayan research
collaborations?
• Which role can the Humboldt network and funding organisations like the Alexander von
Humboldt Foundation play in order to advance cooperation between Germany, Argentina
and Uruguay?
We are delighted that Humboldtians from Argentina and Uruguay as well as young Argentinian,
Uruguayan and German researchers will participate in the conference. These young colleagues
have been selected in collaboration with the partner organisations: CONICET, the German
Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Max Planck
Society (MPG). Therefore, they are particularly welcome!
My gratitude is due to everyone who has worked so hard to prepare this event, especially the
previously mentioned partners. Thank you very much for all your efforts. I should also like to thank
all the speakers and moderators for their contributions to the programme and all the participants
for taking part. We should like to encourage participants to make new contacts, and in doing so,
help to shape the future of German-Argentinian/Uruguayan scientific cooperation. I wish us all an
inspiring conference!

In den interdisziplinären Workshops sollen die aktuellen Forschungsarbeiten von Humboldt-Alumni und
Nachwuchswissenschaftlerinnen und Nachwuchswissenschaftlern in vier definierten interdisziplinären Bereichen
in den Mittelpunkt gestellt werden. Darüber hinaus bieten die Workshops ein Forum, um über aktuelle
Forschungstrends, die wissenschaftliche Zusammenarbeit zwischen Argentinien und Deutschland sowie
Möglichkeiten der Forschungsfinanzierung zu diskutieren. Alle Teilnehmenden – Humboldt-Alumni,
Nachwuchswissenschaftlerinnen und -wissenschaftler und Gäste – sind eingeladen, bei diesen Workshops
mitzuwirken.

The aim of the interdisciplinary workshops is to spotlight current research by Humboldt alumni and early career
researchers in four loosely defined interdisciplinary areas. The workshops also provide a platform for discussing
trends in current research, research collaboration between Argentina and Germany as well as research funding.
All participants – Humboldt alumni, early career researchers and guests – are invited to attend these workshops.

 The World Café: Visions and Strategies for Future Engagements of Humboldtians
Saturday, 27 October 2018, 11 a.m.

The Humboldt Network is interdisciplinary, intergenerational, and international. Humboldtians

have a passion for research and the experience of transatlantic research collaboration with
Germany. The “World Café” is a format for creating a living network of collaborative dialogue
on questions that matter to a community. It features a series of structured conversations at
small coffee tables, allowing participants to share their individual knowledge and expertise with
each other and to work collaboratively as a group towards tangible results of the meeting.

We encourage you strongly to attend this interactive session to help us draw conclusions from
the colloquium and to start building bridges from this meeting as a one-time-event organised
by the Foundation to self-initiated and self-organised activities as well as future strategies and
initiatives by and for the Humboldt community in Argentina and Uruguay. We appreciate your
feedback and engagement!

Questions for Discussion

1. What are currently the most important or urgent challenges for the development of research and
science in Argentina and Uruguay?
2. How can the Argentinian/Uruguayan-German scientific and scholarly cooperation contribute to
these issues?
3. Which specific activities would you seek to engage in to advance progress on these issues?
