WORLDMAKING FROM A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE:
A DIALOGUE WITH CHINA
從全球視閾看“世界”的建構：對話中國

Fellowships

The Joint Center promotes academic exchange and dialogue between Chinese and German researchers, in particular through a fellowship program. Outstanding Chinese academics are given the opportunity to participate in the projects of the Joint Center during a Visiting Fellowship of up to several months at one of the involved universities in Germany. Scholars from various disciplines in Germany can also receive Research Fellowships for field or archival research in China, Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan as well as research stays at the aforementioned network locations.

The current calls for application are published here on the website as well as being sent out via our newsletter. For further information and questions, please contact our office: office[at]worldmaking-china.org.

The continuation of the Fellow Program beyond 2023 is currently in the planning and approval phase. Updates will be posted here and in the newsletter.
