The winning candidate, chosen by an independent committee of scholars, will receive € 7,000, and is expected to spend three months conducting research at the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte in Munich.
Candidates for the award are requested to send in electronic form the research paper in question, along with a curriculum vitae detailing academic qualifications, copies of certificates and a list of publications (these personal documents in one single pdf) to: Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte, to the attention of Prof. Dr. Iris Lauterbach, fellowships@zikg.eu.
