DutchCulture: Europe + Heritage Travel Grant Scheme
DutchCulture: Europe + Erfgoed Reiskostenregeling
Funding for visits to explore potential European heritage collaboration
The Travel grant scheme is part of the Europe + Heritage programme of DutchCulture and is supported by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. The goal of the scheme is to promote the establishment of contacts with the European heritage sector and the exchange of knowledge between the Netherlands and the rest of Europe. Cooperation starts with establishing contact and getting to know each other. To facilitate this, DutchCulture has created the Travel Grant Scheme.
This implies the following:
- Strengthening the European network of the Dutch heritage sector;
- Promoting knowledge exchange within a European context;
- Participating in a conference, symposium, or networking opportunity of significance to strengthen the European heritage network of the applicant;
- Visiting a region or several heritage sites within Europe to enhance knowledge exchange and potential collaboration.
