SUMMARY:Deadline: Einstein Fellowship 2026 (Einstein Forum + Wittenstein Fo
 undation)
DESCRIPTION:Six-month residential fellowship for outstanding young thinkers
  (under 35) who\, in addition to producing strong work in their primary fi
 eld\, want to pursue a project in a different discipline\, following Einst
 ein's own cross-disciplinary example. Eligibility: candidates must be unde
 r 35 and hold a university degree in the humanities\, social sciences\, or
  natural sciences. Whether the applicant holds\, or is working toward\, a 
 PhD is not relevant. Crucially\, the proposed project must be significantl
 y different in content (and preferably in field and form) from the applica
 nt's previous work\; this is NOT a dissertation-research grant and is NOT 
 for completing an academic study already underway. The project need not be
  finished during the fellowship\, but can be the start of a longer one. Se
 lection criteria: quality\, originality\, and feasibility of the proposed 
 project\, plus the superior intellectual development of the applicant. App
 lication materials: CV\, a 2-page project proposal\, and two letters of re
 commendation\, all submitted via the online form. All documents must be re
 ceived by 15 May 2026. Funded by the Wittenstein Foundation (previously fu
 nded by the ZEIT Foundation Ebelin and Gerd Bucerius 2007 to 2009\, then t
 he Daimler and Benz Foundation 2010 to 2022).\n\nOrganisation: Einstein Fo
 rum (with the Wittenstein Foundation)\nLocation: Caputh\, Brandenburg\, Ge
 rmany (garden cottage at Einstein's summerhouse\, near Potsdam and Berlin)
 \nAward: EUR 10\,000 stipend + living accommodations for six months at Ein
 stein's summerhouse + travel expense reimbursement\nDuration: 6 months in 
 residence at the Einstein summerhouse cottage. End-of-term: present the pr
 oject in a public talk at the Einstein Forum and at the Wittenstein Founda
 tion.\n\nMore: https://www.einsteinforum.de/en/about/fellowship/
