Gerda Henkel Stiftung’s Lost Cities Award is an interdisciplinary funding program aims to place current challenges facing shrinking and abandoned “lost cities” in historical context. It focuses not on the question of which factors led to a city’s abandonment, but rather on the ways in which lost cities are “read,” instrumentalized, and codified in various cultures and periods of time. Applicants should be part of research groups in the humanities and/or social sciences. OFR Contact: Chloe Taft Kang. Amount: Not specified, based upon award type and length. Deadline: 5/5/25.
