Fellowships
The Society of Fellows offers several different funding opportunities for its members:
Carson Society Munich Fellowship
The Carson Society Munich Fellowship will support an RCC Society of Fellows member’s return to the RCC in Munich for a four- to six-month period with a stipend of 2,000 Euros per month.
The fellowship is intended to provide an RCC Society of Fellows member with more time to work on a new research project after their initial RCC fellowship. Please note that the RCC cannot further fund the project from a fellow’s initial residency.
An additional stipulation of this fellowship is that the returning fellow will offer a program or a project that gives back in some way to the RCC community, including LMU students, RCC fellows, and the Society of Fellows.
The number of fellowships to be awarded will be determined at the time of the fellowship review process. Because of the small size of the monthly stipend compared to the Carson Fellowship, we envision that returning fellows will have matching grants or sabbatical leave from their home institutions.

Collaborative Project Grant
The Collaborative Project Grant is intended to nurture productive and creative partnerships among RCC Society of Fellows members. Projects must involve at least two RCC Society of Fellows members. The nature of the collaboration is limited only by applicants’ creativity. Collaborations might include a speaker series, a co-authored op-ed or peer-reviewed article, a grant proposal, or a course that two or more fellows will co-teach or design.
The total annual funding for the Collaborative Project Grant is 3,000 Euros. With this limited budget, we hope to support two or more projects. In keeping with the RCC mission, applicants who bring together people from different disciplines and from geographic locations that are underrepresented at the RCC, such as Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East, will be given priority.

Public Outreach Grant
The Public Outreach Grant supports a project created by an RCC Society of Fellows member or members that engages a general public audience in the field of environmental humanities. Projects might include, for example, a major public lecture, a museum or art exhibition, or a podcast. All types of endeavors geared toward the public will be considered.
The total annual funding for the Public Outreach Grant is 3,000 Euros. Our goal is to distribute the funds to as many projects as possible while still providing meaningful support.
