Selection Process and Criteria
A Bellagio residency provides time for critical thinking, disciplined work, individual reflection, and collegial engagement, uninterrupted by the usual professional and personal demands.
Eligibility
The Center typically offers one-month residencies for no more than 12 scholars and scientists at a time. Individuals in any discipline and from any part of the world are welcome to apply. Space is reserved for academic projects, and for projects that are consistent with the Foundation’s mission to expand opportunities for poor or vulnerable people and to help ensure that globalization’s benefits are shared more widely.
The Experience
The residency is open to artists, writers, non-governmental organization practitioners, policymakers, scholars and scientists from around the world. Meals and informal presentations of work provide an opportunity for residents to engage with each other. During special dinners, residents also have the chance to interact with the participants of international conferences that are hosted in various buildings on the Center’s property. The combination of private time for work and reflection and informal gatherings is an important part of life at the Center.
Spouses/life partners may accompany the resident, or may apply for a concurrent residency.
The Center also offers collaborative residencies for two to four persons working on the same project.
Length of Stay
Residencies are typically four weeks in length, however, shorter periods may be available. Applicants will need to submit a statement describing why an alternate length of time is requested.
