With the Hertie Network of Excellence in Clinical Neuroscience and its career programme, the Hertie Academy of Clinical Neuroscience, the Hertie Foundation established a network and junior researcher support programme for clinical neurosciences. Founded in 2019, six selected excellent research sites were funded with a total of 5 million euros. In 2022, based on the highly successful first funding period, the program was renewed with 6.5 million euros for another three years.

In each funding period, the Hertie Academy of Clinical Neuroscience brings together four excellent young scientists from each location with the other fellows and with a growing network of alumni and mentors. It provides key qualifications for the next career steps and promotes the scientific networking of excellent young researchers, in particular through joint projects. The aim is to enable these talents to take up leading positions in the coming years.
