Selection Procedure / Jury Sessions
Participants are selected on the basis of the quality of their work, professional recommendations and the potential of their project with which they have applied.
The selection of participants is made by an international jury once a year. The next jury session is planned to be held in May 2025.
Grants
Selected participants are awarded a monthly grant of 1,500 Euros to allow them to concentrate exclusively on their work. Participants are expected to commit to working solely on their projects while in Berlin. Grants are awarded by the jury for a period of up to three months. The selected participants must complete their fellowship between June and November 2025. Travel expenses and accommodation will not be covered by the NIPKOW PROGRAMM. All participants are obliged to write a final report before receiving their final monthly grant. Once a participant has been awarded a grant by the NIPKOW PROGRAMM, they may not re-apply; a Nipkow Fellowship is a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
