Against a backdrop of global political power shifts and faced with the environmental crisis and social injustice, the Joint Center for Advanced Studies “Worldmaking from a Global Perspective: A Dialogue with China” explores existing notions of “world” and approaches to worldmaking from transnational and transcultural perspectives. The Center is jointly organized by researchers at universities in Berlin, Göttingen, Heidelberg, Munich, and Würzburg. It is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

In order to promote knowledge exchange, dialogue, and cooperation between Chinese and German scholars, the Center has established a Visiting Fellowship Program for researchers to visit the Center in Germany and a Research Fellowship Program for researchers based at a German university to conduct fieldwork or archival work in China, Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan and to discuss their research during short-term stays at the Center.

Starting now, the calls for applications are open for funding in 2023.
