Lecture Series Grants
¡@
Academic institutions in Europe are invited to apply, individually or collaboratively, for funding from the Foundation under the newly created Lecture Series program (CCK Lecture Series). These grants will support lectures by distinguished scholars at the sponsoring institutions. It is expected that six or more lectures open to the public will be held as a part of a series. The Foundation requires that their contents must be published. The grant covers transportation, honorarium and stipend for the lecturing scholar. Publication costs are not covered under this program. In special cases, costs for promotion and some travel expenses for out-of-town students may be considered. The maximum amount of each grant is EUR25,000.
All applications must include the following items:
A one-page summary of the proposed project.
A detailed itemized budget (If this sum is to be supplemented by matching funds, please include this information in the budget).
A description of the proposed project of no more than 7 pages in length.
Curriculum vitae and a list of publications of the invited scholar
General title of the lecture series, as well as titles of the individual lectures
