One of the core activities of the ALCS is to encourage and promote academic research in all areas of Low Countries Studies. All ALCS members, from PhD students to Senior Lecturers, are welcome to apply for funding. An ALCS Research Grant is not intended to provide full financial support for projects, but to provide ‘top-up’ funding or initial support and encouragement to enable a larger project to get off the ground, for instance to assist with travel expenses to visit an archive.
ALCS Research Grants in Low Countries Studies
Members can apply for up to £400 for a personal application and max £500 for a project/conference with institutional backing. Only ALCS Members can apply for an ALCS Research Grant.
