Since 2020, the Walter Benjamin Kolleg has awarded the annual «Young Scholars» prize to excellent young researchers from Switzerland and abroad who successfully work across disciplines and communicate their research to a broad public in a vivid manner. Worth 1,500 SFr, the award aims to identify and promote young talents by increasing their visibility, opening up networking opportunities and providing impetus for scientific and intellectual development. At the same time, young researchers of the Kolleg benefit from the exchange with the scholars.
The call for applications for 2025 is open until Februar 1, 2025.
