The Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center, on Lake Como in Italy, through conferences and residency programs, supports the work of scholars, artists, policymakers, and practitioners (other people doing significant work for the public good) who share in the Foundation’s pioneering mission to “promote the well-being of humanity.” The Bellagio Residency Program offers these individuals a setting conducive to focused work, and the unparalleled opportunity to establish new connections with fellow residents from a stimulating mix of disciplines and geographies during residencies of up to 4 weeks.

Applicants accepted during this open call will be awarded residencies in 2020.

For additional information, the outreach flyer is here or visit the Bellagio Center website

Applicants criteria are:

• Well-established and highly accomplished individuals whose work relates broadly to issues that have a direct positive impact on poor and vulnerable populations
• Individuals who are at an inflection point in their work—they may be ready to pivot and experiment with something new, or may be in a position to reflect and generate insights from a lifetime of experience
• Individuals whose work has the potential for significant positive impact—perhaps by shifting thinking in a field, or sparking new ideas
• Individuals who want to engage in a diverse cross-sector community, who are good listeners and collaborators, and who are highly intellectually curious

Submission deadline is May 1, 2019.
