Between 2010 and 2015, the program annually invited up to five promising postdoctoral scholars to conduct their own research within the framework of Zukunftsphilologie. As an interdisciplinary endeavor, scholars from different philological backgrounds were encouraged to communicate on more general issues that arose from their individual studies. The fellows contributed to the program’s on-going activities, conceptualized and organized workshops, and gave at least one presentation during their fellowship.
Below, you will find an overview of the 22 research projects that Zukunftsphilologie supported.
