STUDIOTOPIA is thrilled to launch the second edition of its Residency Programme, an initiative designed to foster collaboration between the arts and sciences to promote sustainable development. This year, the programme focuses specifically on the concept of the Symbiocene, exploring the interconnectedness of life on Earth through the combined perspectives of art and science. The STUDIOTOPIA Residency Programme aims to break down barriers between disciplines by encouraging innovative cross-disciplinary approaches. This edition is open to both emerging and established talents across the arts, sciences, and academic fields. The programme is hosted by 11 specialized organizations, each facilitating unique residency opportunities with their own opencalls.

Extended Submission Deadline: 7th November 2024, 23:59 CET

Open Call for Emerging Artists

We invite emerging artists to apply for one of eight research-driven residencies. This programme pairs each artist with an established scientist for a year-long collaboration, focusing on local issues related to sustainable development. This residency offers a unique chance for artists to engage deeply with scientific research and explore the role of art in addressing environmental challenges.

Open Call for Young Scientists

The fellowship programme for young scientists offers a distinctive opportunity for ten early-career scientists to collaborate with ten acclaimed contemporary artists over twelve months. This fellowship is designed to facilitate a dynamic exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methodologies, addressing a global challenge identified by the artist and the local challenge committee. Through this collaboration, young scientists will have the chance to expand their research horizons and contribute to impactful, interdisciplinary dialogue.
