Programs

Academic programs at ISI

Our programs offer you the opportunity to conduct research in a diverse academic environment, exchange ideas with leading experts and build global networks. At ISI, critical thinking, creative approaches and scientific curiosity come together.

The ISI helps you arrive

Our programs reflect what we work on, the questions that drive us, and the areas where we seek to make an impact. Here you can learn how we offer support—and where our limits lie. Clear, transparent, and without empty promises.

Monthly grant

Some of our programs are linked to a scholarship – for anyone who wants to get involved without having to choose between research and rent.

Ticket from / to Munich

In certain cases, we also cover travel costs by arrangement, because good research doesn't always start just around the corner.

Relocation support

If a research project relocates, we offer our support – and in some cases, we even assist with the move itself.

Modern workplace

A workspace awaits you in the heart of the university district: modern, thoughtfully equipped, quiet for focused thinking and open for meaningful exchange.

Access to the LMU

As part of our programs, you will have full access to LMU facilities: from libraries and databases to study rooms and cafeterias.

Networking opportunities

We connect you with dedicated people from academia, practice, and civil society.
