Four times per year, NINO offers Outgoing Mobility Grants of max. € 1500 to MA, PhD, or early postdoctoral students in the Netherlands.
The Mobility Grant is to be used for study or research abroad, such as study visits to museum collections or research institutes, travel to archaeological sites or fieldwork in the Middle East, attendance of masterclasses or specialist courses, or travel to conferences where the student will present a paper or poster.
The Mobility Grant may be used to cover the cost of travel and accommodation, membership or registration fees, admission tickets, library fees, and similar. Not supported by this grant are tuition fees, food and drink, and equipment.
Applications may be sent in year-round. Four times per year, NINO’s Academic Committee assesses applications and awards grants.
Outgoing Mobility Grants will not be awarded more than once at each level (MA, PhD, recent post-PhD) and should be used within 12 months following the award.
