Fellows in Residence
The Kolleg Friedrich Nietzsche established the Fellows in Residence programme to support young scholars of philosophy, the arts and sciences who would like to explore a self-chosen topic for a certain period of time in greater depth. The Fellows in Residence live at the historical Nietzsche-Archiv, make use of the resources of the academic and cultural cosmos of Weimar and invigorate the activities of the Kolleg Friedrich Nietzsche.
