Mondriaan Fund: International Collaborative Projects with Heritage Institutes
Mondriaan Fund: International Collaborative Projects with Heritage Institutes
The Mondriaan Fund is one of the 6 national cultural funds, and supports and promotes the visual arts and cultural heritage in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The grant for International Collaborative Projects with Heritage Institutes is intended for cultural heritage institutions from the Netherlands and the Caribbean part of the Kingdom that collaborate with foreign cultural heritage institutions in research projects in fields covered by both of their collections. The grant may also be requested for the development phase of the project, for example to pay for the travel and accommodation expenses incurred by researchers and curators, and towards the costs of presenting the study results in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The objective is to promote new insights, research and international collaborations in the field of cultural heritage whose importance will draw international attention and which will result in a presentation.
Cultural heritage institutions based in the Netherlands or the Caribbean part of the Kingdom that wish to collaborate with heritage institutions outside the Kingdom of the Netherlands in research projects in fields covered by both of their collections.
The grant is intended for research projects in shared areas of collection focus, such as art historical and provenance research. It is also possible to apply for funding for the development phase of a project, e.g. to cover travel and accommodation costs for researchers and curators, or the costs of presenting the research results in the Netherlands.
The amount of the grant will be determined per application. The Mondriaan Fund can contribute up to 40% of the variable project costs. For development research, applicants may request up to 70% of the variable project costs, to a maximum of €15,000.
