Köpfe und Ideen 2024

The composition of a Fellow cohort at the Wissenschaftskolleg is based on various – also very practical – aspects and insofar is somewhat random and thus holds surprises for everyone involved. This surprising mix is also fertile soil for those unexpected encounters that many Fellows come to particularly cherish during their stay.

And equally surprising, we should hope, is the fine selection of minds and their ideas that we serve up in this nineteenth edition of Köpfe und Ideen. In view of the range of important and enriching topics we have to pick from each year, it is extremely hard to cull just a handful – and the themes we finally choose to address give only a hint of the books, articles and collaborations to be garnered from them in coming years by our Fellows.
