Guest Researchers

As the Georg Simmel Center, we are pleased to welcome scholars at the Center for a certain period of time. In the following, you will find important information about these guest stays:

  • In principle, stays are possible for one semester. Depending on the resources of the Center, an extension is possible.
  • The application deadline for a stay for the coming winter or summer semester is June 15 and December 15 respectively.
  • A strong exposé (1 page max.) explaining the thematic field and the thematic proximity to the research fields of the GSZ must be submitted by this application deadline at the latest.
  • We expect our guests to participate regularly in the scientific events and other activities we offer, as well as to present their own research in one of these events.
  • In principle, each guest should have his or her own funding, as the GSZ does not award grants to finance the stay. However, individual funding is possible - depending on the availability of funds - if there is a strong thematic overlap with the Center's subject areas AND funding is not possible by other means.
  • The Georg Simmel Center can only offer office space subject to availability. Generally, at this time, office space is more likely to be unavailable due to our tight space constraints.
