The Crossing Borders program provides international research grants to authors, filmmakers and photographers who address current social issues and seek to reflect their impact on different cultures and societies through their work.
Application
Through the Crossing Borders program we fund international research trips by authors, filmmakers and photographers:
from China (incl. Taiwan, Macao, Hong Kong), India, Indonesia, Japan and Vietnam, to Germany
from German-speaking countries in Europe, Asia and Africa
The Funding
We welcome applications from authors, filmmakers, and photographers alike who take interest in conducting first-hand research, visiting authentic places, and creating works that offer new perspectives on other societies. Works from a range of genres are eligible, including literary and essayistic prose, photographic work, children’s and youth literature, feature films and documentaries, and radio or multimedia productions.
Depending on the destination country, it is possible to apply for research funding of up to €15,000 which includes:
- Subsidy for the travel costs for one way, continuation and return travel to the destination country/countries up to a maximum of €2,500
- Subsidy for accommodation costs and meals for max. 31 days
- Subsidy for the preparation of the work, implementation and follow-up of the research trip in the amount of €1,500 per month for a total of max. three months.
Deadlines
Applications can be submitted between 1 March and 30 April, as well as between 1 September and 31 October via the Robert Bosch Stiftung application portal.
An independent jury selects which projects to fund based on the applications received. The decision is expected to be announced in mid-July and at the end of January respectively.
