In the NIAS Open Call, a maximum of 216 eligible applications will be assessed. In line with NIAS’ commitment to achieving an equal number of fellows from the Netherlands, the Global South, and the Global North, no more than 72 applications will be admitted in each of the following categories:

  • Dutch-affiliated or -based applicants;
  • Applicants affiliated with or based in other EU countries, or in Andorra, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Israel, Monaco, Norway, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Vatican City, Switzerland, the UK, the US, Canada, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand;
  • Applicants affiliated with or based in all countries not listed above.

NIAS will announce when the limit for any of these sub-caps has been reached. If the maximum of 72 eligible applications is not reached in one category, the remaining capacity will be distributed equally among the other categories.

Only scholars who obtained their Ph.D. degree three or more full years before the closing date of the fellowship call, are eligible to apply for a NIAS Fellowship.
The Fellowship
Places are limited so being as flexible as possible is advisable. If you prefer 10 months, please elaborate on why this would benefit your project in your project proposal.

The own contribution for subsidised accommodation is 975 euro per month. Please note that applicants with a Dutch affiliation can only apply for housing when travel time exceeds 1.5 hours (single trip, public transport journey from home-town station to a station in Amsterdam). More information on the types of subsidised NIAS housing: https://nias.knaw.nl/our-fellowships/what-nias-offers/accommodation/

Both personal stipends and Dutch University Grants are set on 3.500 euro per month. Personal stipends are offered to fellows without an affiliation and fellows from outside the Netherlands. More info: https://nias.knaw.nl/our-fellowships/what-nias-offers/

Additional financial support is meant for fellows from low-income countries. The details of additional support will be discussed with the fellow personally. More info: https://nias.knaw.nl/our-fellowships/what-nias-offers/

Reviewers
Provide the names of three international experts in your field who would be suitable to approach as independent reviewers:

Please list experts who will not have a conflict of interest by reviewing your proposal. Excluded experts are colleagues from the same department, co-authors, (former) supervisors, personal friends, and scholars involved in the current research project proposal.
