We offer four stipends in total, each of max € 1,500. The types of activities we support are related to conducting (ethnographic) research and/or publishing on the museum collections.
Apply by filling in the application form and send the application in by the deadline November 1, 2020.
Make sure that the estimated budget is comprised solely of eligible costs. Eligible costs are costs what you have to make in order to conduct the research: travel expenses, accommodation costs, translation costs, etc. Non eligible costs are fees and charges. You may only apply once for a fellowship. We will not consider revised or new applications in subsequent years. And incomplete and late submitted applications will not be processed.
