Conference and Seminar Grants
The
Foundation will consider applications from
institutions for grants to support conferences or
seminars on specific subjects related to the
Foundation's goals and objectives. Applicants are
urged to seek matching funds. Applicants should
submit the names of all participants, as well as
titles and abstracts of papers to be presented.
The academic background of the participants and
the significance of the meeting will be key
factors in the evaluation process. Budgets for
conferences should not exceed EUR25,000. In principle, the
Foundation does not provide funding for annual meetings.
The Foundation's grants provide support for research on Chinese Studies in the humanities and social sciences.
Funding is not available for university administrative costs including overhead or endowments.
The Foundation does not subsidize administrative expenses or the purchase of equipment.
Funds for Conference and Seminar Grants may not be used to cover publication costs. Grantees anticipating the need for additional funding to cover such costs are welcome to apply for one of the Foundation’s Publication Subsidies grants.
Foundation funds can only be transferred to and managed by institutional accounts. Letters of support from the applicant's institution must express the institution's willingness to comply with these procedures.
The Foundation encourages applications with matching funds from other sources.
When preparing itemized budgets, please use Euros as the unit of currency.
NEW: The Foundation reserves the right to post project abstracts and reports on its websites.
