Within the framework of the project “Common Ground”, the Schering Stiftung invites scientific institutions that are interested in or have experience with transdisciplinary projects to plan and realize an exhibition project together with us. We actively support the process by contributing our know-how for art science cooperations as well as material and personnel resources. As part of a collaboration with scientific institutions, the Schering Stiftung offers grants of up to EUR 38,000 as well as practical support for the realization of projects at the intersection of art and science.

„Common Ground” for the first time offers scientific institutions based in Germany an opportunity to realize transdisciplinary projects in cooperation and to present them at the exhibition space of the Schering Stiftung. The exhibition – plus, ideally, a related transdisciplinary symposium – will provide a platform for the dialogue between art, science, and society.

The program offers academic institutions an initial insight into the specifics of collaborations with artists and empowers them in the long term to plan and implement such collaborations independently.
