There is an invisible city that appears on no map, and yet is everywhere. This city, whose foundations were laid in 1978, continues to be built. But in place of buildings, it has restless ideas, words and algorithms. And in place of roads, it has the sciences we know – medicine, law, biology, and the like – and the sciences we will come to know – biomedicine, bioethics, artificial intelligence and economics of innovation. This city is inhabited by people who excel and break new ground, applying themselves so that our societies can take steps forward. It is a city of 7,317 inhabitants: all of them Onassis Foundation Scholars.

The application submission period for the Onassis Foundation Scholarship Program – Academic Year 2021-22 is now closed.
