Priority will be given to PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, to essay authors in a writing phase and to artists doing theoretical/practical (laboratory) research. To be eligible for a grant, the residency must be the object of, or contribute to the creation of a written, audiovisual or multimedia record analyzing the research methodology and thus making it possible to share the results.

These residencies can last between 2 days and 2 months, with the exception of the periods when the IIM is closed (August, Christmas holidays, September of odd numbered years e.g. 2015, 2017...).
Application may be submitted at any time (at least two weeks before).
Residencies are allocated after examination of the proposal, according to availability at the Documentation center.
