What are we looking for?
We are looking for individual research projects which make use of Europeana Collections for research purposes: employing state of the art tools and methods in the Digital Humanities to address a specific research question.

What funding is available?
Funding is available for up to 8,000 euro per successful project. 3-5 successful proposals will be funded. Funding can be used for buyout of researcher time, travel, meetings, or developer costs. This funding does not include overheads.

The deadline for applications is Friday, October 14th, 2016. Proposals will be reviewed by Friday, November 4th 2016 and the list of successful projects will be announced by Friday, November 25th 2016.
What will be the duration of the projects?
