Project Funding by the Richard Stury Foundation

The project funding of the Richard Stury Foundation is aimed at non-profit institutions, educational establishments, as well as artistic and scientific organizations throughout Germany. Museums, academies, and universities, as well as research institutions, can apply for grants for innovative projects in the fields of art, culture, and science. The focus of the funding decision is always on the scientific significance and the outstanding quality of the submitted project. A comprehensively completed application form, which can be downloaded from the foundation’s website, forms the basis for evaluation. The foundation places great importance on the sustainability and knowledge gain of the funded research projects and supports exclusively non-profit initiatives that make a demonstrable contribution to the contemporary art and science landscape.

Currently, no applications are being accepted for the funding year 2026. Interested organizations and research teams should inform themselves in good time about the application periods and funding guidelines of the Richard Stury Foundation to avoid missing future deadlines. Selection is based on clearly defined evaluation criteria, which include, in addition to scientific relevance, the methodological rigor and innovative strength of the project. Participation creates networking opportunities with experts from culture, media, and science and offers the chance for visible presentation of the results in museum or academic contexts. The Richard Stury Foundation thus promotes interdisciplinary exchange and contributes to the sustainable strengthening of creative and scientific research projects.
