Netherlands: The Jan van Eyck Academie Fellowships for Artists, Designers and Theoreticians

Overview

The Jan van Eyck Academie is an institute for research and production where artists, designers and theoreticians work alongside each other and establish cross-disciplinary exchange.

Artists, designers and theoreticians are invited to apply for a research period of up to two years, starting in January 2011. The central element of the application is your project proposal, in which you set out the form and content of your research and production plans. The application deadline is 15 April 2010 (post stamp date).

Researcher’s Profile

Researchers are expected to have attained a level equivalent to a master’s degree, and preferably to have some years of professional experience.

Researchers are expected to establish the aims, methodologies and realisation of their projects.

Researchers are expected to independently formulate a relationship to the discipline of fine art, design or theory or to a collective research project.

Language

The Jan van Eyck is an international institute that welcomes artists, designers and theoreticians from all over the world. The languages of communication in the institute are English and Dutch. Researchers are expected to have sufficient knowledge of English.

Research Period

The academic year starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December. Research candidates can apply for a one-year or two-year research period starting on 1 January.

It is also possible to apply to do research for a different period of time (from 1 month up to 24 months). In that case, research candidates must indicate the duration of their desired research period. A time frame for their research project, stating when they would like to start and end their stay at the Jan van Eyck, must be included in the application.


Stipend

At the start of the research period researchers are asked to commit fully to the institute. If they do, they receive an annual stipend of € 9,360. To fully commit means that researchers have to be present at the institute at least fourteen days a month and give at least two public (internal or external) presentations. Researchers who cannot comply with this condition will receive only half of the annual stipend (€ 4,680). Their involvement will be further outlined in the researcher’s contract. If researchers fail to conform to the agreements made, a solution will be sought in consultation with the department and the directors.

Standard of Award

Since the Jan van Eyck is not a training institute it does not award degrees.
Researchers can obtain a letter of recommendation on request.
