Berlin State Monument Office’s study award – applications close 15 February 2021

The Berlin monument landscape is as diverse as the city: modern settlements and old village centers, intimate house gardens and extensive public parks, mixed Wilhelminian style quarters and wealthy villa suburbs, technical infrastructures and globally operating industries, world-famous icons of modernity and sensational archaeological finds. The forms of occupation within are as diverse as the monument landscape: building and urban historical research, renovations and conversions in line with historic monuments, participation offers and mediation tasks are important foundations of Berlin monument preservation.

The Berlin State Monument Office’s study award recognizes and promotes employment at universities and colleges with the Berlin monument landscape. It is awarded annually on the occasion of the Berlin Monument Day for outstanding bachelor and master theses that relate to the Berlin monument landscape and deal with topics relevant to Berlin monument preservation.

Students at all universities and technical colleges in Germany and abroad are eligible to participate. There is no restriction to certain disciplines or subject areas such as art history, monument preservation, architecture, garden architecture, restoration or archeology. The only decisive factor is the thematic focus of the thesis.

The Berlin State Monuments Office’s study award is awarded to up to three Bachelor or Master theses each year. Each prize is worth 1,000 euros. The Berlin State Monuments Office decides on the awarding of the prizes.

Please note: Bachelor and master theses that have been completed and assessed at a university or technical college within a period of up to two years prior to the award of the study prize are eligible. For the 2021 study prize, this corresponds to the period from 01/01/2019 to 15/02/2021.

The deadline for submissions is 15 February 2021.

Editorial note: the above text was translated from German using Google Translate with minimal editing, and is originally from this website.

The submissions can be made in German and English version. Since the Landesdenkmalamt Berlin only has the necessary documents as German downloads, eligible and interested students should send any queries to this email address.

Nominations open – 2022 World Monuments Watch | deadline: 1 March 2021

World Monuments Fund (WMF) is now accepting nominations for the 2022 World Monuments Watch.

The World Monuments Watch is a two-year program that seeks to discover, spotlight, and take action on behalf of heritage places facing challenges or presenting outstanding opportunities of direct relevance to our global society. Every two-year cycle of the Watch includes 25 heritage places from around the world, selected for their cultural significance, the need or opportunity for urgent or timely action, and the potential for World Monuments Fund to make a meaningful difference.

Through the Watch, WMF collaborates with local partners to design and implement targeted conservation programs – including advocacy, planning, education, and physical interventions in the historic built environment. The ultimate goal of the program since its inception has been to improve human well-being through cultural heritage preservation.

The 2022 cycle of the Watch is taking place amidst circumstances that have revealed the profound interconnectedness of our world. Together, we can innovate to create a more harmonious world where the past and present cohabitate, where local communities and their cultural heritage are recognized and respected, and where we and future generations have the capacity to appreciate our history, respect our differences, and better understand each other.

We are looking for nominations with clear potential to respond to the global need to ensure equitable representation for all, and the pressing challenges of climate change and imbalanced tourism.
