Open Call for Research Projects - Fully Funded Residency in Madrid

Medialab is calling for three research projects to be developed, during a maximum period of one year, within the framework of the themes proposed by Medialab, and in dialogue with the activities of Medialab's annual program and the communities linked to it.

Medialab is a space for innovation and research that welcomes projects that are too exceptional to fit into the strict lines of academic research, often incapable of bringing together and intertwining diverse disciplines or intermediate positions between thought and practice. Medialab's mission is to solve as much as possible this institutional vacuum, welcoming and promoting ideas and projects that, despite their brilliance and transformative capacity, do not find their place in the more disciplinary public programs.
