Honorary Fellowships

The His­to­ri­sches Kol­leg, an Insti­tu­te for Advan­ced Stu­dy of the his­to­ri­cal­ly ori­en­ted disci­pli­nes, has added ano­ther opti­on to its ran­ge of scho­lar­ships. Twice a year, out­stan­ding scho­lars can app­ly to live and con­duct rese­arch at the His­to­ri­sches Kol­leg in the imme­dia­te vici­ni­ty of the Baye­ri­sche Staats­bi­blio­thek for shorter peri­ods of time (maxi­mum six months).

This gives for­mer fel­lows and scho­lars from Ger­ma­ny and abroad, who have alre­a­dy reti­red from uni­ver­si­ty ser­vice or who are acti­ve uni­ver­si­ty tea­chers inte­res­ted in spen­ding their sab­ba­ti­cal in a dif­fe­rent coun­try, the oppor­tu­ni­ty to use the inspi­ring atmo­sphe­re of the artists‘ vil­la (built by Gabri­el von Seidl in the heart of Munich) to com­ple­te a major sci­en­ti­fic project.

The Hono­ra­ry Fel­low is a guest of the His­to­ri­sches Kol­leg and can live and work in the Kaul­bach-Vil­la. The tech­ni­cal and per­son­nel infra­struc­tu­re of the house is at her or his dis­po­sal for sci­en­ti­fic work. No remu­ne­ra­ti­on is gran­ted. It is expec­ted that the fel­low­ship reci­pi­ent will pre­sent the topic to an aca­de­mic audi­ence in a lec­tu­re (or pos­si­bly in ano­ther form of talk/discussion) during their stay at the Kol­leg. The fel­low will be inte­gra­ted into the life of the Kol­leg (col­lo­quia, etc.) and will bene­fit from the wide ran­ge of ser­vices offe­red by Munich as a sci­en­ti­fic location.
