Under this programme, up to three scholars from the Collège de France can be invited to Humboldt-Universität each year for research stays. The visits serve to foster networking, exchange innovative research approaches, and conduct joint events – including public lectures, seminars, and workshops. Depending on the duration of the planned visit and the number of associated lectures and workshops, funding of up to 6,980 euros can be requested for the stay.

Calls for applications are usually published at the beginning of the year, with a submission deadline in mid‑March. The current call for the 2026/27 academic year is open until 16 March.
