In addition to its scientific endeavours and focus, ZiF promotes artistic perspectives and interventions. The goal of this line of funding is to intensify the dialogue between Science and the Arts. The "Artist in Residence" programme is one of the building blocks to pursue that goal.

To better understand the many facets of this shift, the workshop "Evidence-Based Benevolence? The Role of Philanthropic Organizations in Global Public Policies" (March 27-29 at ZiF) brought together different disciplinary perspectives. The workshop was convened by Evelyn Moser (Bonn), Marc Mölders (Bielefeld), Oliver Razum (Bielefeld) and Holger Straßheim (Bielefeld).
