The Science and Art Lab at TU Braunschweig, in cooperation with the BrightBrain research consortium, invites international artists to apply for an Artist in Residence program as part of the Ecoversity initiative. The residency aims to connect artistic and scientific perspectives. Artists are invited to propose their own research-based projects related to microphotonics, biomedicine, technology, and neurodegenerative diseases. Scientists will open their laboratories and provide access to research materials, technical equipment, and expertise.

Artistic approaches that engage with scientific topics in diverse ways and encourage dialogue between art and research are welcome, as to encourage dialogue between science, art, and the public and support experimental formats, new perspectives, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Activities may include talks, exhibitions, screenings, and other public events. The BrightBrain Artist Residency will take place in autumn/winter 2026 at TU Braunschweig. 

Applicants should show interest in biomedicine, technology, and innovation in their artistic work, be comfortable working in interdisciplinary environments, be interested in neurobiology or microelectronics, be motivated to collaborate with experts from science, culture, and education, be willing to participate in two public events (e.g., talk or presentation).
Artist fee: 2400 EUR per month (gross), travel costs and accommodation covered, production budget: up to 3500 EUR (gross), access to laboratories and advanced technologies.
