With the Hertie Network of Excellence in Clinical Neuroscience and its career programme, the Hertie Academy of Clinical Neuroscience, the Hertie Foundation initiated a network and junior researcher support programme for clinical neurosciences. Six selected excellent research sites are initially supported for three years.

The five million euros provided in the first funding period mainly support the Hertie Academy of Clinical Neuroscience, which will bring together four excellent young scientists per location. The Hertie Academy provides key qualifications for the next career steps and promotes the scientific networking of excellent young researchers, for example through joint projects. The aim is to enable these talents to take up central management positions in the coming years.
