Research Scholarship
Are you working on a unique research project in the field of Eastern and Oriental Christianity and would you like the opportunity to enrich your research with original source material, or share your findings with an international audience? We invite you to come to Nijmegen as a visiting researcher for 1 month. Through an IvOC scholarship, we offer guest researchers a workspace at the institute and give them the opportunity to participate in the ongoing academic programme. This may take the form of a presentation, guest lecture or publication on our Platform Oosters Christendom.
What does the scholarship entail?
The scholarship period is 1 month and each successful candidate receives a maximum of €1,500 as a contribution to their travel and accommodation expenses. Twice a year, before 1 March and 1 September, our institute accepts applications for research scholarships. In doing so, we try to honour one scholarship application in the field of Eastern Christianity and one in the field of Oriental Christianity.
