VISIT is a fellowship programme run by the innogy Stiftung für Energie und Gesellschaft. It provides young artists with the opportunity to create new work and pursue extraordinary projects. While VISIT artists develop their projects independently, depending on the topic at hand, they receive support by innogy employees at the company’s German or international facilities, and carry out their work on-site.
he foundation expressly requests that the artistic works created under the purview of the programme engage with themes related to energy and its significance to society at large. VISIT aims to facilitate a multifaceted discourse with artists as well as scientists and companies about energy, and to address questions relevant to the future. The process of transformation ushered in by the energy transition does not merely involve designing technology; instead, it affects society as a whole. Individuals with various different skill sets and areas of expertise should be involved.

Cooperation: Junge Akademie
The idea of artistic research and the multidisciplinary approach are what connect the Akademie der Künste's JUNGE AKADEMIE and VISIT. Starting in 2020 the partners are offering a new international fellowship to fund projects at the interface between art and science on the topic of the human-machine relationship. The thematic fellowship Human-Machine is also endowed with EUR 20,000 and the fellows will be selected by a joint jury. It will be advertised three times until the end of 2022. Fellows shall also be given the opportunity to stay at one of the Akademie der Künste's studios in Berlin's Hansaviertel district as a guest. The perspective of art, science and business are to be connected in the context of the programme in order to facilitate comprehensive answers to current societal issues. A joint exhibition programme and accompanying discourse formats will serve to support this process and make it available to the public.

Die innogy Stiftung für Energie und Gesellschaft gGmbH ist die Unternehmensstiftung von innogy. Im Zentrum unserer Förderaktivitäten und Kooperationen steht das Thema Energie und seine gesellschaftliche Relevanz. Die innogy Stiftung als Plattform für einen fairen und konstruktiven Austausch:
Die Transformationsprozesse rund um das Themenfeld „Energie und Gesellschaft“ sind von zahlreichen Interessenkonflikten gekennzeichnet, die wir nicht lösen können. Wir können sie aber kritisch reflektieren und die unterschiedlichen Akteure miteinander ins Gespräch bringen. In diesem Sinne bietet die innogy Stiftung durch unsere Arbeit und die unserer Partner eine lebendige Plattform für einen fairen und konstruktiven Austausch.
Die Förderprojekte der innogy Stiftung sind vor allem dort angesiedelt, wo sich Veränderungen in Deutschland und Europa aktiv mitgestalten lassen. Dabei ist es stets ein Ziel, Projekte und Partnerschaften mit messbaren Ergebnissen und gesellschaftlicher Breitenwirkung zu etablieren.
