In the context of the “Fellow Forum”, former Fellows have the opportunity to organize workshops on promising, original, perhaps also risky questions. Envisaged here are neither strictly specialized disciplinary gatherings nor the exclusive continuation of the interactions of Fellows from one academic year. On the contrary: the aim is to activate the relationships among Fellows beyond “class” and disciplinary boundaries.
In accordance with the character of the Kolleg, these workshops should generally comprise no more than 12 active participants. We encourage the organizing former Fellow to suggest the participation not only of other former Fellows, but also of young, external researchers, who can thereby become acquainted with the Kolleg. These workshops are imaginable also as series of two or three successive events. They should be held at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin.
Up to 8,000 euros are available for each workshop. Envisioned are three to four workshops per year. Fellows who would like to pursue a theme in this framework are invited to make a corresponding suggestion to the Wissenschaftskolleg. Daniel Schönpflug, who coordinates the activities of the Fellow Forum, is available as contact person for questions about submitting and implementing proposals. The suggestions received will be presented to the Permanent Fellows for evaluation. Suggestions may be handed in at any time, but at least 10 months prior to the planned date of the event
Please send your suggestions for workshops and any questions about the procedure or implementation to
