Conditions and regulations in short
Applicants must hold an MA degree in a relevant field and be based outside the Netherlands. N.B.: mid-career to senior researchers may apply for an Incoming Senior Fellowship.
The applicant should make clear how their research project makes a contribution to Egyptology (including Coptology), Assyriology (including Hittitology), and/or Near Eastern archaeology.
An Incoming Mobility Grant cannot be used retroactively, i.e. for trips and visits with a starting date earlier than the award date. Travel dates should be clearly indicated in the application.
In general, priority will be given to applicants who have not previously received a grant or subsidy from NINO.
Activities supported by the grant include
- library and collections research at NINO, RMO or other institutions in the Netherlands relevant to the study of the Near East;
- collaboration with a researcher or research team at a Dutch university or museum;
- exploratory meetings geared towards setting up new collaborations in the Netherlands;
- participation at a conference or workshop on the Near East organised in the Netherlands;
- attendance of a masterclass in Near Eastern Studies or specialist course organised in the Netherlands.
Not covered are
- costs for travel to other destinations than the Netherlands;
- tuition fees;
- entrance tickets;
- tourism;
- food and drink;
- purchase or rent of equipment.
Successful applicants can apply for a new Incoming Mobility Grant after five years from the date of their previous application.
Please note: - NINO will prioritise applications by researchers and students who are not partipants in an existing larger research project – in other words, NINO does not aim to fund components of ongoing funded projects.
- Applicants are advised to briefly verify that relevant Dutch scholars and/or institutions will be available and inclined to cooperate during the proposed trip. Detailed/fixed arrangements should only be made if and when an Incoming Mobility Grant is awarded.
- Have you obtained or applied for any other funds or awards regarding this trip? Your application should mention all funds relevant to your trip. Specify amounts, (prospective) subsidy givers, and status (applied, in process, awarded) in your budget table.
- It is mandatory to notify NINO immediately on decisions of other subsidy givers. It is mandatory to inform other (prospective) subsidy givers immediately of NINO’s decision on your application. Failure to notify any subsidy givers may result in retraction of awarded grants, awards, or funds.
