Stiftung Einstein Forum

The Einstein Forum Foundation is a legally recognized public law foundation of the State of Brandenburg, based in Potsdam. It promotes international scientific collaboration as well as interdisciplinary exchange between the humanities, natural sciences, social sciences, cultural studies, the arts, and religious cultures. Furthermore, it manages the Albert Einstein Summer House in Caputh, makes it accessible to the public, and uses it for scientific encounters. The foundation awards scholarships, organizes lecture series and conferences, and works closely with national and international universities and research institutions.

The Einstein Forum Foundation aims to continue the cross-cultural and interdisciplinary exchange that Albert Einstein cultivated in his summer house in Caputh. It promotes international intellectual discourse, strengthens the global networking of science and art, and thus contributes to international understanding and the advancement of modern scientific culture.

The funding opportunities and programs of the Einstein Forum Foundation are aimed at scientists and artists from Germany and abroad, interdisciplinary research groups, early-career researchers, as well as intellectuals and cultural practitioners engaged with current issues at the intersections of the humanities, natural sciences, social sciences, and cultural studies.
