Academy in Exile offers 9 Residential Fellowships


Academy in Exile recently invited nine scholars at risk for 12-month fellowships at TU Dortmund University and the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities (KWI) in Essen. Eligible were scholars from any country who have a PhD in the humanities, social sciences, or law, and who are at risk because of their academic work and/or civic engagement in human rights, democracy, and the pursuit of academic freedom. Academy in Exile fellowships give scholars the opportunity to continue their careers in Germany and to work on a research project of their own choosing in a multidisciplinary environment. Fellows contribute to and shape the research agenda and intellectual profile of Academy in Exile.


For this funding round, Academy in Exile received 262 applications from 31 different countries.
