The Humboldt Residency Programme brings together a transdisciplinary, international group of twelve participants consisting of Humboldtians and early career researchers as well as writers, artists, civil society actors, and social entrepreneurs.
During the six-week residency in Brandenburg and Berlin, with excursions to institutions in Northern Germany and along the North and Baltic Sea coasts, participants will meet daily in shared working spaces, enjoying the unique opportunity to dedicate extensive time and freedom to gaining an in depth understanding of each other’s work across a diverse range of disciplinary backgrounds. They will build transdisciplinary bridges, explore synergies, pose bold questions, think visionary, and connect with relevant stakeholders in Germany and internationally.
