This grant, funded by Professor Hubertus Jahn, of up to £1600 for proposed academic research is to support research focussing on the history of Georgian-European relations through the centuries.

It is open to Georgian advanced graduate students and post-doctoral scholars living and working in Georgia. Applications should promise to generate publishable output in English upon completion, which can be brought to the attention of a wider audience (ie. outside as well as inside Georgia). Preference will be given to those in early to mid-career (ie. aged 25-45, within 15 years of completing their doctorates) and to applications with co-funding (in cash and/or in kind), to applications for less than the £1600 maximum and/or where costs are reduced by borrowing or renting equipment rather than buying it. The grant should cover project-related out-of-pocket expenses, ie. not salary/honoraria for the applicant. The costs of administrative and field support for the project can be considered.

Please fill in this form in English (your research, of course, can be done in any language). Those who have previously received a FaRiG research grant may not apply for five years.
