As part of its new Studio Roma program, the Istituto Svizzero di Roma (ISR) is offering twelve places for a residency at Villa Maraini in Rome. Musicians can also apply.
The call for applications is open to Swiss citizens and persons resident in Switzerland or applicants with proven links to Swiss cultural or scientific institutions. The age limit is forty years at the end of the application period.
The duration of the residency is usually between three and ten months (between September and July). Each member is awarded a grant of CHF 10,000 for their participation in Atelier Studio Roma. They also receive board and lodging and a workplace. Active participation in the Atelier Studio Roma is an integral part of the residency conditions. Applications can be submitted by February 28, 2013 at the latest.
The members themselves must apply for funding to cover their living expenses: artists apply to cantons, municipalities or foundations, researchers to the Swiss National Science Foundation or to foundations.
