This fellowship is intended for researchers from formerly colonised countries – including heritage practitioners, historians, archaeologists, social scientists, artists, journalists, and/or cultural activists – with an interest in (lost) collections or objects from those countries or regions that are kept in the Netherlands. We look forward to welcoming two fellows in the academic year 2025- 2026: both in the first semester (Sept 2025 - Jan 2026). The fellowship is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science through the Colonial Collections Consortium.
