Working grants for academic networks
An important objective of the Dutch Language Union's foreign policy is the promotion of cooperation. Cooperation leads to the qualitative and quantitative strengthening of Dutch studies outside the Dutch language area and also improves communication with government bodies at home and abroad and with the Dutch Language Union. The establishment of an academic network, which can be set up at a regional, national or international level, is designed to meet this need. Besides acting as a channel of communication, an academic network also provides the contact point for the Language Union for lecturers' seminars, visiting lecturer schemes and summer courses on location.
Aim
In order to facilitate the operation of an academic network, the Language Union may supply a working grant. This grant is intended to cover meeting costs, transport costs, personnel costs and information distribution expenses.
Procedure
The Chairman and/or Secretary and/or Treasurer of the academic network should apply for a working grant before 1 December. The application form (pdf document) can be downloaded here.
Financial accountability and substantive reporting
The financial statement of the working grant must be received by the Language Union by 1 December. Not all financial records need to be included with this account. However, these documents should be stored for a period of five years by the department of Dutch to enable the Language Union to check the financial statement on a sample basis. In addition to the financial statement, a substantive report on the functioning of the academic network is required.
