Description

The Deutsches Museum in Munich has several attractive scholarships to offer research scholars interested in working for 6 or 12 months on projects involving the museum´s vast and heterogeneous collections. The scholarship programme is international and interdisciplinary in scope. Applicants are invited to base their projects on the collections of the Deutsches Museum and to cooperate closely with museum staff on site when formulating their research proposals. Projects involving innovative approaches to artefact-oriented research are especially welcome.
