Accelerate@CERN is the country specific one month research award for artists who have never spent time in a science laboratory before. It is the sister strand of CERN’s flagship artists residency programme,Collide@CERN and it was lunched in 2014.
Every year, the ministries or foundations from two different countries fund two different artistic domains to participate in the Accelerate@CERN research awards. The awards are made after an open call in the country funding the award, judged by a jury. The winners will receive a stipend of 5000 CHF for their one month research visit to CERN, and there is a limited budget to cover accomodation, subsistence and travel costs. The funders also cover the administration costs of the project at CERN.
The awards are judged by a jury comprising the funders of the programme and representatives from CERN.
If you are interested in funding an Accelerate@CERN award for a specific country and art form, then please contact us atfund.accelerate@cern.ch. We would be delighted to hear from you.
