Projects
Creative and sustainable responses to the major challenges of our time require interdisciplinary collaboration. While fellows pursue their own projects as part of their fellowship, they also contribute to scholarly and public discussions on these challenges. This happens both within the community of fellows by exchanging ideas on topics of shared interest and through public events that seek to engage different audiences in such debates.

Current projects
The projects of the fellows engage with important topics of our present. Each fellow is free to pursue their own research project during their stay at the Collegium. The projects reflect the diversity of perspectives and experiences of the fellows.
