Publication Subsidies
Academic publishers may apply for subsidies for the publication of scholarly works related to the goals of the Foundation. The publication may be in the form of a book or a monograph. Applications will be accepted for completed book manuscripts, but not for books in a series. Supporting documents should include reviewers' comments and publishing costs. Publication budgets should not exceed EUR10,000.
For periodicals and journals, the Foundation will support one year's worth of publication. The application for the publication of conference proceedings requires a completed, edited draft.
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.
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.
