J. Gonda Foundation

The J. Gonda Foundation is part of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and supports the scholarly study of Sanskrit, other classical Indian languages and literature, and Indian cultural history. The Foundation’s assets consist of the estate of Indologist Jan Gonda, who was a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Since 1992, the Foundation has financed projects, fellowships and publications of scientific writings and reissues of existing works. In addition, it organizes the Gonda Lecture every year, which is also published.
