Migelien Gerritzen Fellowship 2023 for Conservation and Scientific Research (Stipend available)

For the Migelien Gerritzen Fellowship 2023, applications are now being accepted. The Migelien Gerritzen Fellowship is open to ideas for scientific study and conservation that draw on the resources and collection of the Rijksmuseum.

The Fellowship Program’s goals are to build relationships between the museum and universities while promoting intellectual inquiry and contributing to academic dialogue. The program gives exceptionally gifted candidates access to the Rijksmuseum’s expertise, collections, library, and labs as well as the opportunity to base a portion of their study there. Additionally, it creates chances for Fellows to participate in seminars and outings to promote knowledge sharing among fellow Fellows as well as the general museum public.

  of twelve months commencing 1 September 2023, the start of the academic year.

  elsewhere in Europe to a maximum value of €5,000 annually. The Rijksmuseum will cover
  visa fees for the Fellow, but not for dependents.
