Mission
The aim of the International Studies for Sicily writing and research 
residency is to offer independent researchers, academics, 
philosophers, screenwriters, playwrights and other thinkers a space 
where they can devote themselves to academic, political or philosophical 
literary production and to intellectual research. The International 
Studies for Sicily’s (SIS) fundamental role is to facilitate the 
individual research of each resident in relation to the region and the 
residents’ participation in a transdisciplinary and transnational program.

Each year, SIS organises several Independent Residencies and Thematic 
Residencies, during which writers from every field and origin engage in 
the production of their own individual research based on a common 
theme, creating exchange and extending dialogue with 
other residents, with the region of Palermo and with their 
respective intellectual networks. Media and communication studies 
scholars are particularly welcome.

SIS is an independent research institute, with an annual research 
program developed with the aim of collaborating with public and 
private institutions in Palermo and local and international research 
centres. Intellectual and human connections developed during the 
residency will help broaden existing intellectual networks and build 
new ties, both on a local and a transnational level.

The program provides access to basic technical support for the 
organisation of events such as symposia, debates, seminars and other 
forms of public presentations, as well as the publication of the 
/Quaderni di SIS - SIS Field Notes. /

SIS is at once a physical place and a virtual research network, through 
which to engage in the present armed with critical thought 
and political imagination.

Locations
Residencies take place in two locations: Villa Adriana 
in Contrada Danigarci, near Trabia, and Spazio Arké in Palazzo Martinez 
Tagliavia Mango, adjacent to the Central Library of the Sicilian Region 
in the historic centre of Palermo. Candidates must specify the location 
of their residency in the /Application Form./
