Fellowships
Creating free work space ...
... is the central idea of the Historisches Kolleg. Since 1980 it has offered excellent scholars the freedom to spend a whole year researching, thinking and writing in order to complete a major work (starting in October and ending the following September) . Under ideal conditions, the scholarship recipients can concentrate on their work, free from obligations at their universities. Munich is an outstanding scientific location with excellent libraries, research institutions and archives within short distance to the Kaulbach-Villa, which is a quiet place central between the Bavarian State Library and the English Garden.
Currently, you can apply for a scholarship at the Historisches Kolleg in the college year 2024/2025.
