Since 2008, the Goethe-Institut in Germany provides curators who live and work in Germany with a travel grant to conduct research trips abroad in the field of international contemporary art. The funding aims to expand curators' knowledge, strengthen links between the German and international art scenes, and support exhibition projects about international contemporary art. Applicants must be curators based in Germany and propose a research project that will lead to an exhibition or other event in Germany. The grant covers partial travel expenses and may contribute to accommodation costs, with a maximum amount of €5,000 per trip. Applications are submitted via the Goethe-Institut's digital funding portal, typically open from mid‑November to mid‑January each year, with the deadline on 15 January. The final decision is announced in mid‑February, and the research trip must start within the same year. The grant does not cover material costs, fees, or academic research trips, and renewed funding is possible only after three years.
