The Manafi Institute for Saturation Studies (M-ISS) welcomes applications for sabbatical leaves and research fellowships from scholars, researchers, and independent thinkers worldwide. Applicants are encouraged to propose research projects that are meaningfully connected to the Theory of Saturation, processes of collapse, or the Rosetta Model, whether at personal, institutional, societal, or systemic levels. Researchers whose interests align with these frameworks but who have not yet fully defined a research topic are also invited to apply; in such cases, M-ISS provides intellectual guidance and conceptual support to help identify, refine, or co-develop a suitable research direction.

The Institute strongly encourages interdisciplinary approaches and welcomes contributions from the humanities, social sciences, management studies, mathematics, systems theory, philosophy, and related fields.
co-researchers Beyond offering an intellectual home for advanced research, M-ISS actively supports fellows in identifying potential co-authors or co-researchers whose expertise and methodological approaches complement their work. Through its international academic network, the Institute facilitates collaboration, scholarly exchange, and joint publications, fostering a research environment grounded in conceptual rigor, critical inquiry, and innovative theoretical development.

For Researchers
For researchers interested in relocating to Germany or Portugal, M-ISS provides official support letters for visa applications, in accordance with the nature and duration of the fellowship or sabbatical stay. This support is intended to ease administrative procedures and allow scholars to focus fully on their research and engagement within the Institute’s academic ecosystem.
