International Residency Programme 2025

The GGSC is pleased to announce a request for proposals (RFP) to support nonfiction content and reported stories related to love. We are interested in projects that extend well beyond romantic love; we define love as a deep, unselfish commitment to another person’s well-being—even to put their interests before your own.

With funding from the John Templeton Foundation, **the GGSC will distribute grants of between $5,000 and $50,000 to two dozen journalists and media producers** who approach the topic of love from a variety of angles and across a range of media, including articles, videos, radio stories, podcasts, social media content, and more. The grants are part of the GGSC's Spreading Love Through the Media project.

In addition to financial support, we will also connect the grantees with scientific experts who will serve as advisors to their projects, guiding them to relevant research and helping them align their work with the science of love.

Spreading Love Through the Media: Request for Proposals

**10×10 Photobooks** is pleased to announce a new grant cycle and call for applications as part of its ongoing photobook research grants program to encourage and support scholarship on under-explored topics in photobook history.

For this cycle, we are looking for submissions related to 10×10’s recent **_Flashpoint! Protest Photography in Print_** project. In particular, we invite proposals relating to photobook history from any geography that addresses topics of protest, resistance, or social and cultural conflict from 1950 to the present. The past seventy-five years have been a time of extreme social and cultural transformations including migration, territorial disputes, gender inequity, class divisions, racism, war, and violence, environmental concerns, and other ideological and tribal conflicts which photobooks have engaged with as a tool and/or document of protest.

  
The concept of the photobook is interpreted in the broadest sense possible: classic bound books, portfolios, personal albums, unpublished books, zines, digital media, scrapbooks, posters, or other ephemera. The evaluation of proposals will consider the importance of the proposed topic (how significant and/or unknown is the subject) and the strength of the proposed approach.

  
**Grantee Expectations**

Grantees are expected to produce a presentation (and optionally a paper) within a year of the grant being awarded. Material needs to be in English. The result of the research will be presented and discussed during an online zoom event organized by 10×10 Photobooks.

10×10 will also assist where able and desired with in-progress review, identifying information, making introductions, etc. 

**10×10 Photobooks will award three grants this cycle for 2025-2026 in the amount of $2,500 each**, which will be paid in two increments during the course of the project.

ARCUS Project’s artist-in-residence program provides opportunities for artists in the field of contemporary art to cultivate their artistic creativity and vision. Located around an hour from Tokyo, a residency at ARCUS Studio allows participants in the program to come into contact with the contemporary art scene in Japan as well as devote themselves to their creative endeavors in a calm environment while interacting with the local community. Through the support the program offers from its dedicated team of coordinators and regular tutorials with a curator, artists are able to search for and explore approaches in their practices and undertake new challenges in their artistic expression. The program particularly emphasizes research-based practices and presents the initial results of these processes at open studios. It welcomes ideas for artworks and projects that develop out of encounters with people, the land, and culture, and aspire to form critical spaces that are open and international.

  
Program period: August 29–November 26, 2025 (90 days)

Studio, accommodation, round-trip airfare, living and research expenses (540,000 JPY), as well as support from a director and coordinators.

2025 IBARAKI ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM

On the occasion of the AI Action Summit, Villa Albertine, The French Institute for Culture and Education in the United States, is launching Arts in the Age of AI, a new exploratory residency program in the U.S. at the intersection of art and emerging technologies.

Between January and December 2026, four creators or cultural professionals with a project related to artificial intelligence will benefit from a two-month research and exploration residency in the United States, supported by Villa Albertine. This program is set to continue in 2027 with four additional residencies, bringing the total number of residencies over two years to eight.

This program aims to stimulate innovation, reflection, and French-American collaborations by promoting exchanges with a diverse range of stakeholders: universities, businesses, artists, residents, public officials, and cultural institutions.

Villa Albertine’s Arts in the Age of AI residency is launched in partnership with and possible thanks to the primary sponsorship of Franco-American Patron and Technology Leader Fidji Simo.

The laureates will join the cohort of the 2026 Villa Albertine residency program, which will celebrate its fifth anniversary.

Villa Albertine will cover the travel and accommodation expenses related to the residency, according to the following terms:

* A residency stipend for daily expenses (e.g., meals, local transport). For reference, this stipend is $100 per day in Washington, D.C.
* International flights
* Housing
* Car rental, if necessary for the project (e.g., in large sprawling cities or as per the necessity of the project).
* Health insurance, liability insurance, and repatriation coverage.

These expenses are covered directly by Villa Albertine and are not subject to a lump-sum grant payment.

2026 AI and Artistic Creation Residency 

In collaboration with the Collaborative Research Centre ISOQUANT at Heidelberg University and the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, Art Hub Copenhagen invites artists to apply for a six-month residency exchange programme that brings together artists and quantum physicists. Deadline for applications is Wednesday 26 March 2025.

  
In recent years, the intersection of art and science, particularly physics, has gained increasing prominence in artistic practices and exhibitions. This residency aims to build on that momentum by fostering creative dialogue between artists and leading international researchers in quantum physics.

  
By breaking down the traditional boundaries between scientific inquiry and artistic exploration, we aim to inspire new ways of thinking and to encourage cross-disciplinary discoveries. This programme offers artists and scientists a unique opportunity to collaborate and challenge one another and generate innovative insights and new knowledge for both fields.

  
Duration of the residency is 6 months (residency) + 6 months (follow-up programme including curatorial sparring and exhibition preparation) starting in Fall 2025.

**Stipend**: Artists will receive a monthly stipend (2.000€) to cover living expenses during the residency period (first 6 months of the program). If childcare is needed, we offer access to facilities at Heidelberg University.

  
**Accommodation**: Art Hub Copenhagen will facilitate finding a rented room/apartment practically located in Copenhagen and cover the costs. The CRC ISOQUANT will offer and cover costs for accommodation in a fully equipped apartment centrally located in Heidelberg.

  
**Workspace**: Art Hub Copenhagen will offer a studio and access to workshops, including metal, wood, printing, assembly, and digital workshop facilities. Moreover, Art Hub Copenhagen will assist in finding other relevant production facilities if needed. The CRC ISOQUANT will grant full access to all university research facilities, laboratories, and a shared office space. Heidelberg University will provide working facilities specific to the hosting institutes.

  
**Travel**: The programme covers round-trip travel between Copenhagen and Heidelberg, with an emphasis on eco-friendly options such as train travel. Additionally, local commuting in Heidelberg and Copenhagen will be facilitated and covered by ISOQUANT and Art Hub, respectively.

  
**Events and Public Presentation**: Art Hub Copenhagen and ISOQUANT will take full responsibility for organizing and funding events during the residency, such as artist talks, as well as the final public presentations of the works in Copenhagen and Heidelberg. This includes covering the costs of supplies and materials for the artworks (up to 5.000 €), an exhibition fee of 2.500 € per exhibition, and transportation costs for both the artworks and the artists. Additionally, exhibition-related costs, such as room rental and materials, will be covered (up to 2.500 € per exhibition).

  
**Publication Opportunities**: Both institutions aim to produce a joint publication at the end of the program and will also encourage and support the development of online publishing formats.

OPEN CALL :  SciArt Residency

**This grant, mentoring and scholarships programme aims at addressing the shortage of local independent journalism by administering grants to local investigative journalistic projects in Europe and stimulating cross-border collaboration.**

  
This programme will:

  
* Stimulate local journalists and (small) news outlets to conduct investigative journalism and learn from colleagues in other countries, creating a European network of local (investigative) journalists in the long run.
* Stimulate local journalists and news outlets to compare with other regions and cities in other countries that face similar problems or challenges, which are eminently European issues.
* Increase the dissemination, reach and impact of local investigative journalism.

  
The grant programme will be open for **teams of local investigative journalists and/or local media outlets** from at least two different European countries who have good ideas for a local cross-border investigation. For example: journalists and/or news outlets from different comparable cities investigate how their cities cope with e.g. housing, waste, tourism, mobility, etc.

  
The project should be one that, in principle, could not be realised in this format within the remit of regular journalism – a project that can include cross-border research, networking between colleagues, established and **innovative investigative methods** and that is at the same time original, innovative and intensive.

In 2025 the total grant budget is €365,000 to distribute over two application rounds. For the next deadline we have €250,000 to distribute.

  
A grant can cover two types of costs:

  
**Working time** of the journalists to conduct their investigation. (**_please note: working time will need to be substantiated with a timesheet_**)

  
**Expenses**:

  
* Direct investigation expenses such as travel, visa, accommodation, translation, fixers, access to pay-databases, freedom of information (FOI) requests, legal screening, insurance, etc., ...
* Following expenses **cannot** be covered by the grants: overhead, office costs, investments goods (such as IT hardware, mobile phones, cameras, software …), production costs, recoverable VAT, food and beverage, per diems.
* Grantees must minimize unnecessary travel, particularly air travel. Our policy is to only make essential trips and to champion alternative ways of collaborating with others. This saves time and money, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions (that contribute to global heating). We ask that our grantees do the same for the work that we fund and report to us on the air travel they make.
* The grant can only cover costs for _research_, not for production.
