2025 OBEL AWARD TEACHING FELLOWSHIPS

Application Deadline: midnight CEST on 1 August 2025

LOCATION:  Denmark

For 2025, the OBEL Award will grant two teaching fellowships and invite prospective fellows from around the world to apply in partnership with a host institution. The taught courses will preferably begin in 2026 (or soon thereafter) and revolve around the 2025 OBEL Award focus: Ready Made. The aim is to foster deeper exploration, development, and dissemination of knowledge on this key topic within the built environment. 

ELIGIBILITY:

Open for prospective fellows from around the world

Ideally, the potential fellow should lead/teach two courses at the university within the fellowship period in accredited university programs. However, other models of learning could mean that only one more intensive subject is taught and therefore eligible for a fellowship.

Usually, the academic institution will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreeing to accept the fellow as a visiting scholar/guest teacher or professor and administer the fellowship funds on his/her behalf according to the budget submitted and approved in the joint application. However, the Foundation understands that different local customs and legal parameters may require the disbursal of funds in an alternative manner. The H.F. Obel Foundation is flexible in this regard and is most concerned with the creation and imparting of an impactful course(s), the commitment and agreement of both the potential fellow and academic institution to this joint project, and an ability of both to be responsible for the new course(s) and the correct and transparent use of OBEL funds.

The funds are NOT to be used for student trips, student stipends, or promotional publications. Please note the fellowships are NOT intended as a source of funding for current scholars/academics. 

Teaching fellows are expected to remain in the city/region of the university or academic institution for the duration of the course(s), not fly in and out for classes. 

Frequently asked questions about the fellowship and application procedure can be found on the fellowships page. Additional questions may be submitted to fellowships@obelaward.org. We will reply to all questions directly but may use your question to update the FAQs posted on our website.

BENEFIT:

Award will grant two teaching fellowships of up to €75,000
