Support
Building on a track record of excellence, we invite scholars from Justus Liebig University and beyond to join and contribute to our vibrant research community in the study of culture.
Self-funded visiting scholars (postdoctoral level) are warmly encouraged to get in touch and carry out their projects at the centre, benefitting from our research infrastructure and rich culture of interdisciplinary dialogue and collaborative exchange. We also provide assistance with grant applications, such as in our series “Peer Advice on Research Funding”.

Eligible formats include, e.g., exploratory meetings and workshops helping the formation of the project group and the development of a research proposal (eligible costs: travel and accommodation). At least one member of the group of researchers involved needs to be based at Justus Liebig University. Applicants are welcome to enquire about individual options and requirements.
