The Berlin Artistic Research Programme announces the jury results for the 2024/25 funding period. The Berlin Artistic Research Programme is pleased to announce the results of the jury meeting for the funding years 2024/25. The programme aims to strengthen artistic research in Berlin by awarding grants to individuals and groups across disciplines. Funding is provided for individual artistic research projects, exchanges between scholarship holders, and public events. The programme responds to the increasing importance of art for knowledge in society. Founded in spring 2020 the scholarships will be awarded for the third time this year with funds from the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion. For 2024/25, a total of 758 applications were received from the fields of visual arts, film/video, literature, music, dance, theatre and interdisciplinary research approaches, which were assessed by an independent, interdisciplinary jury. Each jury member had access to all submissions and could nominate applications in a two-stage selection process, which were discussed together during a two-day jury meeting.
