“Immediate Departure” is a travel program that enables young architects to gain valuable experience through travel by setting out to discover different ways of thinking about cities and regions and to examine, on the ground, the state of the European landscape in light of contemporary challenges and the environmental, economic, political, cultural, and social transitions underway in Europe.

The call for applications is organized by the Quartus Endowment Fund for Architecture, in partnership with the Ministry of Culture, the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine, the Atelier Parisien d’Urbanisme, the AREP Group, and MAF, and is co-organized with ENSA Paris-Est on behalf of the network of French National Schools of Architecture.

Deadline for project submissions: September 6, 2026
