Relocation stays for artists and cultural practitioners

The Martin Roth Initiative (MRI) supports artists and cultural practitioners at risk by facilitating temporary residencies in Germany or in the regions of origin. The Martin Roth-Initiative was launched by the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (ifa) and the Goethe-Institut as a joint project in response to the global decline in pre-political freedom.

In the different program lines, funding can include:

• a monthly scholarship,
• individual support services (language courses, training, networking measures, etc. as required),
• financial support for additional personnel expenses of the host organisation to an appropriate extent,
• accompanying project advice from the MRI as well as networking measures and exchange of experience with other host organisations and scholarship holders.
