Scholarship opportunity for Indonesian students to do a master’s degree in heritage in the Netherlands. Deadline is 15 April 2024.
The Cultural Heritage Scholarship Programme is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and managed by Nuffic, aligning with Dutch policy based on the Advice on Colonial Collections and Recognition of Injustice from the Gonçalves Commission. Because of the imbalance of power during the colonial era, cultural objects were often improperly obtained. The Dutch government is keen to help rectify this historic injustice by returning cultural heritage objects to their country of origin and by strengthening international cooperation in this area. This initiative is in line with other efforts within this policy framework, such as the consortium colonial collections and opportunities offered by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). Both are currently offering research opportunities in the Netherlands on this topic: NWO call for proposals and the NIAS–NIOD–KITLV Fellowship.
