The name Akademie Schloss Solitude unites the belief in artistic, scientific exchange with the notion of a refuge, a credo which underlays the construction of the Schloss Solitude from the very beginning. Residencies at Akademie Schloss Solitude enable fellows to devote themselves to their research projects under favourable material and intellectual conditions. In this way, the available resources can be used in an optimal, needs-oriented manner.

It is essential for the self-conception of Akademie Schloss Solitude that fellows of all disciplines are enabled to work and research free of daily pressures and presentation deadlines. Despite this, the Akademie offers the possibility to communicate and present projects to the public. Besides the realisation of numerous public events, the online platform Schlosspost allows international visibility of fellows and their projects and creates space for new digital projects.
Brief Description
A residential fellowship at Akademie Schloss Solitude should also be understood as a future investment, as it might sometimes only bear fruit at a later date, for both the fellow and the institution.
The founding director Prof. Jean-Baptiste Joly was the artistic director of Akademie Schloss Solitude from January 1, 1989 until March 31, 2018. Since May 1, 2018, Elke aus dem Moore has been artistic director of Akademie Schloss Solitude.
The Akademie Schloss Solitude is financially supported by the German state of Baden-Württemberg.

For the first time in its 30-year history, Akademie Schloss Solitude expanded its profile with the addition of a thematic focus to the 2019 application round for fellows joining the Akademie in 2020–2021.
From 2020 onward, Akademie Schloss Solitude in cooperation with KfW Stiftung will launch a new program with a specific content-related focus, which a group of seven fellows is invited to investigate in any way they wish over a period of nine months. With this thematic focus, the Akademie wishes to consolidate the importance accorded by society to transdisciplinary and discursive-artistic work, providing content-related momentum.
