Camargo X EHESS┋For interdisciplinary teams

The call for applications is open throughout the year.

For the 2026 residencies, we invite applicants to submit their applications before October, 31st 2025 using this online form. 

The aim of this program is to stimulate relations and exchanges between scholars and artists to develop projects at the interface between the social sciences and all areas of the arts, with the aim of producing a joint work. It participates in this reflection on the mutual enrichment resulting from the dialogue between creation and research, in the same way as the CRESS - Création recherche en sciences sociales - program.

In presenting their proposals, candidates must to demonstrate, on the basis of their own research or career interest in interdisciplinary cross-fertilization and exchange between and exchanges between the social sciences and the arts.
