With its early-career fellowship program, the Collegium supports outstandingly promising academics and artists at a critical stage of their career. The program is designed to encourage work that cuts across and transgresses disciplinary boundaries in unconventional ways.

Early-career fellows are free to pursue their individual projects as outlined in their application, and they receive support from the Collegium’s team. Projects carried out at the Collegium may convince both by their relevance and originality, spanning from blue-sky research to applied science, as well as from fine arts to artistic research. The Collegium also encourages small interdisciplinary teams of up to three people to apply with a joint project.

The Collegium is calling for submissions from all disciplines for ten-month residential early-career fellowships in Zurich. The application window is open until February 12, 2026 (17:00 CET).
