Humboldt Residency Programme 2027 in Germany for Researchers and Creatives

Brief Description

The Humboldt Residency Programme 2027 brings together a transdisciplinary, international group of 12 participants for a fully funded residency in Germany. Organized for researchers, writers, artists, and social practitioners, the initiative provides a collaborative space to exchange ideas, pose bold questions, and build lasting international networks. If you are selected, you will participate in a six-week in-person stay in Brandenburg and Berlin, featuring excursions to institutions along the North and Baltic Sea coasts. The fellowship runs from June to October 2027, combining virtual sessions with intensive, daily shared working space in Germany. If you want to expand your work beyond academic boundaries or connect your research to broader social contexts, this opportunity offers full financial coverage, living stipends, and dedicated project budgets.
