The Alpine Fellowship supports students who are dedicated to exploring cross-disciplinary questions of the contemporary age. The ideal students "seek to explore the connections across and between humanistic fields of study, build bridges across fields of study in the humanities, and creatively synthesize the arts, literature, philosophy, and other humanistic fields of inquiry."
The annual event includes prominent guests from around the world, representing the fields of theater, poetry, film, music, philosophy and the visual arts. In recent years the novelist Ian McEwan, the art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon and the filmmaker Luc Jacquet have been among the guests. The theme for the 2023 Consortium is "Flourishing." Please find a detailed description of the theme here.
