About this residency
The Humboldt Foundation brings together twelve people from academia, the arts and civil society for six weeks on one theme, "Oceanic Horizons". It starts with two weeks at Schloss Wiepersdorf, followed by four weeks in Berlin with trips to the North and Baltic Sea coasts. Participants work side by side and create formats for audiences beyond academia, such as debates, workshops, articles or social media. You apply online with a CV of up to three pages and an introduction video of up to 60 seconds, and decisions come at the end of February 2027.
