Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin - Institute for Advanced Study

At the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, internationally recognized researchers, promising younger scientists and scholars, and personalities of intellectual life have the opportunity to concentrate, free of constraints and duties, on work projects of their own choice for one academic year (October - July). The approximately forty Fellows comprise a temporary learning community characterized by diversity of discipline, by internationality, and by interculturality. The institution provides optimal conditions for Fellows to devote themselves completely to their chosen intellectual task while profiting from the potential for stimulation and critique provided by an outstanding community of scholars.
