The Deutsches Jugendinstitut (DJI; German Youth Institute) is one of the largest social science research institutes in Europe. Around 380 employees work at its two offices in Munich and Halle (Saale). The specialist units within the five research divisions investigate the living conditions of children, young people and families as well as the associated state welfare services and measures. Experts from the DJI have been advising policymakers and practitioners as well as federal, state and local authorities for over 60 years now. They analyse social trends, conduct scientific studies on new professional developments, prepare forecasts and contribute important impetus for professional practice.

The DJI offers scholarships for young guest researchers and students from both Germany and abroad which allow them to engage in research or take an internship. The scholarships give young scientists the opportunity to pursue scientific work in the DJI’s research areas and engage in dialogue with the institute’s experts in these areas.
