The International Scholarship Programme at the SMB (Berlin), which was launched in 2009, enables scholars from all over the world to undertake one- to three-month research residencies at the institutions of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin Preußischer Kulturbesitz (National Museums in Berlin - Prussian Cultural Heritage).

Funding is available for various research projects related to the multifaceted institutions of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. The programme aims to strengthen the international network of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and therefore primarily addresses foreign researchers. In addition, the promotion of young researchers is of particular concern to the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. The grants are intended to enable scientists to work on their own research project at the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, make professional contacts and participate in the academic and cultural life of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.

The scholarships will start 2013.

Application requirements:
Graduate scholars, postgraduates and doctoral candidates as well as post-docs and professors who do not have their residence in Germany are eligible for application. The applicants must hold at least a first university degree at the time of application.
