Mission & Vision
The Weichmann Foundation is committed to raising awareness of the significance of political exile and to connecting historical experiences with current perspectives on flight and exile. Its goal is to provide impetus for innovative questions and methods in exile research and to commemorate the activities of democratic opposition movements in exile against totalitarian rule, in order to draw lessons for the present and future.
Target groups
The target group of the funding programs comprises researchers, students, research institutes, and university institutions at home and abroad who engage with political exile, forms of democratic opposition, and the consequences for the post-war period. The foundation supports individual projects and collective initiatives that fulfill the foundation's purpose in accordance with the statutes and contribute to the advancement of exile research.
