Einstein Fellowship
The Einstein Forum, in partnership with the Wittenstein Foundation, offers a prestigious fellowship for outstanding young thinkers. This opportunity invites individuals to pursue a project outside their primary field of study, promoting cross-disciplinary exploration in the spirit of Albert Einstein. The fellowship encourages those who not only excel in their area of specialization but also show curiosity and openness toward new intellectual directions.
Fellows will live for five to six months in the charming garden cottage of Einstein’s former summerhouse in Caputh, located near the academic centers of Potsdam and Berlin. During this period, fellows will benefit from an intellectually rich environment, ideal for creativity and innovation.
