Bogliasco Fellowships Programme

Fellowships are awarded, without regard to nationality, to qualified persons doing bot advanced creative and scholarly work in the following disciplines: archaeology, architecture, classics, dance, film/video, history, landscape architecture, literature, music, philosophy, theatre, visual arts without regard to nationality, age, race, or gender.

In the Arts, the study centre welcomes persons doing both creative and scholarly work (such as art history, musicology, film criticism and so on). With respect to music and theatre, the centre does not have rehearsal studio space for persons wishing to work extensively in performance. However, since 2013, the Bogliasco Foundation has a brand-new, state-of-the-art 365 sq ft dance studio, including a sprung floor with marley surface, mirrors, portable barres, and audio-video projection and recording capabilities.

Each year approximately 50 fellowships or residencies are awarded. Their duration of the residency at the Bogliasco Study Center is 32 or 33 days and are scheduled during the two semesters of the academic year:
Fall (mid-September to the third week of December) and
Spring (Early January to the third week of May).

During their stay at the Centre, fellows and accompanying spouses/companions are provided with accommodation and subsistence.
