The Research center at the Institute is offering two programs for research residencies (one with the other without grant) to encourage scholarly research about puppetry, to support and mentor artistic creation, and to strengthen the links between the research and artistic communities.
The research residencies at the Insitute are open to scholars, artists and postgraduate students from anywhere in the world.
Residents can have access to the Library, mentoring support, contacts and networking possibilities with the partners of the Institute.
The residents must sign a research contract which includes the donation of a copy of their final project (e.g. thesis, book, documentary etc.) to the Library.
RESIDENCIES WITH A RESEARCH GRANT 2020

The grant covers daily expenses and part of the travelling costs. During the closing period of the Villa d'Aubilly (under renovation), an accommodation solution can be proposed (on request to be submitted in the application form).
They are granted principally to PhD students, post-doctorate, authors at critical phase of their writing, and artists in a theoretical-practical investigation (laboratory) . To be eligible for a grant, the residency must be the object of, or contribute to the creation of a written, audiovisual or multimedia record analyzing the research methodology and thus making it possible to share the results.
