Call for proposals Colloquia 2024-2025 (KNIR, Rome, Italy) – deadline 30 April 2024
The Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome (KNIR) welcomes new applications for a colloquium to be held in the academic year 2024-2025. KNIR Colloquia are small, exclusive expert meetings, hosted and funded by the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome. Their purpose is to offer early or mid-career academics from all fields the opportunity to improve their research profile by organising an international workshop in Rome on a topic central to their current research agenda and directly or indirectly linked to the KNIR’s research profile and/or Rome. The Colloquium can host up to 20 scholars (including the convenor/applicant), in a 3 day programme. Each year, the KNIR can sponsor and host two of such Colloquia.
The KNIR Colloquia programme targets early and mid-career academics with a position as assistant professor (universitair docent, tenured or not, indicatively with 3 to 15 years of academic employment) or as lecturer (docent, with a PhD degree) at one of the Dutch universities that support the KNIR: the University of Amsterdam, Groningen University, Leiden University, Radboud University, Utrecht University and the Free University Amsterdam. The programme aims to offer opportunities particularly to those academics who do not profit from other research funding (NWO, ERC etc.), and have a teaching load that currently prevents them from in-depth investments in their research profile.
Applications should be submitted before 1 May 2024. Full details on the criterai and how to apply are to be found in the full call (pdf) via the button below.
