 Originally initiated by the Ford Foundation in 1963, the program has been run by the DAAD – with the assistance of the German Federal Foreign Office and the Senate of Berlin – since 1965.
 The program annually invites around 20 artists working within visual arts, literature, music and film to spend a year (in the case of film, six months) living and working in Berlin.
 It is aimed at artists who have already demonstrated considerable talent, but are yet to become fully established.
 It is one of the foremost artistic programs in Europe, and has hosted artists, filmmakers and writers such as Steve McQueen, Susan Sontag, John Cage, Margaret Atwood, Asghar Farhadi, Damien Hirst, Nan Goldin, Shahzia Sikander, Chirikure Chirikure and AA Bronson.
 Katharina Narbutovič is currently head of the program.
