The Walter Benjamin Kolleg integrates the manifold inter- and transdisciplinary research activities of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Bern (Switzerland). It is particularly committed to the promotion of young scholars.
To this end, the Kolleg awards the annual prize "Young Scholars" to excellent young researchers from Switzerland and abroad who vividly communicate their interdisciplinary research to a broad public.
"Young Scholars" aims to identify and promote young talent by increasing their visibility, creating networking opportunities, and boosting their scientific and intellectual development. In return, the young scholars of the college benefit from the exchange with the awardees.
Suggestions and self-applications can be submitted untill May 14 2023.
