Four times per year, NINO offers Incoming Mobility Grants of max. € 1500 to graduate students and researchers (any level of seniority) from abroad, who wish to carry out research on the ancient Near East in the Netherlands.
The grant may be used for such activities as library and collections research, setting up or engaging in joint research with colleagues in the Netherlands, participation at a conference, workshop, or masterclass in ancient Near Eastern Studies. Not covered are costs for travel to other destinations than the Netherlands, tuition fees, entrance tickets, tourism, food and drink, and equipment.
An Incoming Mobility Grant should be used within 12 months following the award.
Important noteIn 2023, NINO offers a limited number of Conference Participation Grants to participants in ICE 13 and RAI 68, under specific conditions. It is therefore not possible to obtain a NINO Incoming Mobility Grant to travel to Leiden for the sole purpose of participating in the 13th International Congress of Egyptologists or the 68th Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale!
