About the Organization

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation is a foundation that promotes international academic cooperation between select scientists and scholars from Germany and from abroad.

About the Fellowship

Every year, the Humboldt Residency Program offers participants the opportunity to cooperate intensively on a common topic, to generate new ideas and communicate them to a broad audience. The topic for 2025 is “The Future of Food”.

The Humboldt Residency Program brings together a transdisciplinary, international group of twelve participants consisting of Humboldtians and junior researchers with a diverse range of disciplinary backgrounds with writers, artists, civil society actors and social entrepreneurs.

During the six-week residency in Brandenburg/Berlin , participants meet daily in shared working spaces. They have the unique opportunity of extensive time and freedom to gain an in-depth understanding of each other's work and thinking, build transdisciplinary bridges , explore synergies, pose bold questions, think visionary , and connect with relevant stakeholders in Berlin and internationally.

While the participants themselves benefit from learning from each other, they also select and implement innovative formats to communicate their key messages to target audiences outside of academia. These could include debates with stakeholders, media appearances, bar talks, interactive workshops, blogs and social media posts or publications.

• a monthly allowance during the six-week residency period in Berlin/Brandenburg
