The Villa Maraini, home of the Istituto Svizzero in Rome, hosts a dozen young Swiss residents each year, comprising six researchers and six artists. The residents of the Roma Calling programme are provided with rooms and places to work. The midday meal is eaten together in order to help foster a particular atmosphere of emulation and synergy between science and art involving all of the occupants.

Palermo Calling

The Istituto Svizzero offers two three-month residencies in Palermo at Palazzo Butera (from September to December) addressed to artists (visual arts, design, architecture, literature, dance, theatre and music) and researchers (social, human and natural sciences).

Young artists and researchers  interested in developing a project that requires a residency in Palermo must submit their applications by 7 February 2022.
