1. Approx. 200 residencies in 70 programmes per year run by the Goethe-Institut and its cultural partners abroad; in 2016-2019 reporting period: number of programmes increased from 52 to 74 and programme expenditure increased by approx. 20%, to almost EU4 million; Goethe-Institut in Salvador de Bahia converted into a residence and opened in 2016; publications, tours and international co-productions arisen as a result of scholarships and as a direct expression of and reference to residencies; scholarship holders' networks expanded.
Providing responsible support for artist residencies often requires psychosocial skills. This element must be incorporated into policy and reflected in subsidy programmes in future.
Supported by federal funding: budget of EU2.6 million (2015); EU2.9 million (2016); EU3.3 million (2017); EU3.8 million (2018); approx. EU4 million (2019)
