Robert Bosch Academy

The Robert Bosch Academy is a multidisciplinary institution that invites distinguished public intellectuals and thinkers from across the world to be in residence at its headquarters in Berlin.^[1] The invited serve as Richard von Weizsäcker Fellows at the Academy from two to 12 months. The Academy, part of Germany’s largest private foundation, the Robert Bosch Stiftung, is headquartered at Französische Straße in the heart of Berlin’s government district known as Mitte.

The Academy promotes multilateral dialogue and solutions-oriented cooperation on international challenges of the twenty-first century. It focuses on a wide range of issues, including foreign policy, security issues, education, demographic change, public health, migration, and asylum.

The Richard von Weizsäcker Fellows spend a sabbatical at the Academy participating in public discourse and interaction with other policy practitioners and analysts in Berlin. They also have an opportunity to establish relations with other institutions and individuals in Germany in their fields of interest. Because the Richard von Weizsäcker Fellowship is by invitation, the Academy accepts no applications. The Robert Bosch Academy also has a research fellowship program that targets younger scholars and experts whose research work fits well with the Academy's own portfolio.

The Robert Bosch Academy is a relatively new institution, having been established in mid-2014. Sandra Breka, Senior Vice President, and Johann Baar, Program Officer, manage the Academy.
