An overview of all research fellows until 2018

On March 18, Het Nieuwe Instituut launches its yearly Open Call for three research fellows to work in residence from September 2019 to February 2020. With the title: BURN-OUT. Exhaustion on a planetary scale, this year’s theme addresses exploitative, multi scalar structures, and aims to instigate other forms of coexistence, sensibility and care for larger, multispecies, collective bodies. Through its annual Call for Fellows, Het Nieuwe Instituut’s Research Department acknowledges and gives visibility to research projects offering departures from established modes of thinking and practice. Applications are open from March 18 to April 22, 2019.

Through its annual Call for Fellows, Het Nieuwe Instituut invited practitioners and researchers to work in residence from September 2018 to February 2019. The applications were evaluated on the basis of their engagement with the fellowship theme, depth of investigation, idiosyncrasy, connection to Het Nieuwe Instituut's mission, and potential for exchange between fellows and across disciplinary boundaries.

This report looks to the 2018 set of applications submitted in response to Het Nieuwe Instituut’s yearly Call for Fellows, to understand the interests and urgencies in contemporary research, and Het Nieuwe Instituut’s network and position within that context. The Research Department is committed to continuously evaluating and adapting the way fellows are selected and supported.
