With the Allard Pierson Fellowship Programme, we offer researchers the opportunity to conduct research on our unique and extensive collections. In this way we advance academic studies, promote knowledge exchange, and strengthen ties with academic institutions worldwide. The fellowships are intended for both early career and senior researchers, from The Netherlands and abroad, for a period of 1 to 3 months.
Applications for next year are now open! You can read more about the fellowships we will offer in 2026 below.
