The center awards fellowships to doctoral and post-doctoral scholars from a variety of countries and disciplines in the fields of Environment and Society.
The call for applications for April has ended on 15 October All fellows are expected to spend their fellowship in residence, to work on a major project, to attend the weekly lunchtime colloquium, and to present their project at the Center.
Please note that for all fellowship types, the RCC does not sponsor field trips or archival research. For a list of frequently asked questions and answers concerning Landhaus fellowships, please click here. The Landh aus fellowship was an extraordinary experience, fostering interdisciplinary thinking and nurturing valuable friendships. The fellowship allowed me to focus on my own writing projects away from the bustle of everyday distractions.
The RCC organised regular events and lectures, giving us the space to present works in progress and meet experienced scholars across different disciplines. There was a good communal working space at the Landhaus itself and the terrace offered a very lovely spot for sunshine basking, coffee, and sharing ideas with the other fellows. Beyond work, the surrounding landscape was really nice for switching off from writing - we cycled, swam in the lakes a lot, even cracking through the ice to do so, and took a day trip to the alps.
The nearby forest is a really lovely place to wander about in. Living communally with the other fellows encouraged interdisciplinary thinking, discussion, and dancing. We were able to share our work and different approaches through both the organised events at the RCC but also in the everyday spaces of living and cooking together.
