The Gulbenkian Institute for Advanced Study (IGEA) offers scholarships for the 2027/2028 academic year. These fellowships are designed to support internationally renowned scholars in conducting independent research for a limited duration, typically ranging from three to eight months. The program aims to provide a stimulating intellectual environment with minimal regular obligations. Fellows at IGEA will have the opportunity to develop their proposed projects in an atmosphere that encourages reflection, concentration, and intellectual dialogue. The Institute fosters a diverse intellectual community by bringing together scholars from various fields of study, backgrounds, and nationalities. This approach is intended to encourage individual, original, and high-quality work and reflection. The Institute primarily seeks to host internationally renowned and active academics. However, applications from emeritus professors, independent scholars, and artists will also be considered. The program is open to most research fields, with the stipulation that proposed projects should not have laboratory or experimental requirements, and the work should not be predominantly practical or applied in nature.
