About this position
This scholarship supports research stays at the NIKI / Art History Institute in Florence for students and researchers in art history and closely related fields. Award holders can spend one to three months in Florence and use the institute’s research facilities, including its library, which is available around the clock.
The main monthly grant is aimed at BA and MA students, recent graduates working on a publication or PhD proposal, and PhD candidates. In parallel, the foundation also offers a separate PhD scholarship for unpaid external doctoral researchers. The award is connected to the Friends of the Art History Institute in Florence foundation and is designed to help scholars carry out a clearly defined research project in Florence.
The scholarship is especially focused on candidates linked to a small set of Dutch universities, with eligibility tied to study or supervision at Utrecht, the University of Amsterdam, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Groningen, Leiden, or Radboud. The scheme is therefore highly selective and intended for applicants with a strong, feasible project and a clear connection to the institute’s research environment in Florence.
