The Mare Balticum Fellowship Program promotes interdisciplinarity at the University of Rostock and specifically supports exchange with international researchers. Every year, at least four fellows are invited to spend up to three months at the University of Rostock to conduct research and network with researchers at the Rostock site.

The program is aimed in particular at scientists in early career phases and offers them the opportunity to broaden interdisciplinary perspectives and gain impetus for their own research. Fellows contribute their expertise to events that are also aimed at doctoral students and postdocs and promote interdisciplinary dialog.

Female academics at the University of Rostock who are members of the Interdisciplinary Faculty are eligible to apply. The call for applications is issued annually and the funding phase runs from February 1 to March 31 of the following year.
