Mit einem Stipendienprogramm zur Erforschung internationaler urbaner Entwicklungen sollen vor allem junge, internationale Fachleute und Kulturschaffende gefördert werden und Impulse für ihre Arbeit bekommen. Das Programm erlaubt ihnen, an einem außereuropäischen Standort über einen Zeitraum von sechs Monaten interdisziplinäre Feldforschung zu betreiben und lokale Projekte anzuregen, die sich mit kulturellen und sozialen Bedingungen der Stadtentwicklung befassen. Die Stipendien sollen neue Formen team- und projektbezogener Forschung entwickeln, den interkulturellen Dialog fördern und so dem stereotypen Denken über außereuropäische Kulturen entgegenwirken..

This important new program provides support and safe haven to scholars around the world who are threatened as a result of their academic work. The Scholar Rescue Fund has rescued over 80 scholars from 34 different countries since 2002, enabling them to continue their teaching and research and, essentially, saving their academic work. This effort returns IIE to its work in the 1930s when IIE’s Emergency Committee in Aid of Displaced Foreign Scholars helped more than 330 scholars fleeing persecution in Europe.
