Crasis Funded Events

Call for funding Proposals

CRASIS brings together experts in the Graeco-Roman world and Near Eastern studies —Classical Greece, the Hellenistic world, the Roman Empire, Judaism, Christian and Islamic origins— at the University of Groningen and the Protestant Theological University in Groningen. Its aim is to advance interdisciplinary study of the interplay between culture, religion and society in antiquity. CRASIS stimulates collaboration between students, PhD candidates, and senior staff from different departments and faculties in Groningen, and offers opportunities to interact with scholars in similar fields in the Netherlands and abroad. CRASIS also encourages initiatives to bring the ancient world to a wider public.

CRASIS has a limited amount of funding available for sponsoring events related to the CRASIS community and goals. Applicants need to fill in the funding form and send this to the secretary by the 15th of December for consideration in the winter 2023 round. The CRASIS board will decide on applications at its meeting on the 19th of December.

If the funding is awarded, a short paragraph describing the event and accompanied by illustrations (photos, videos, weblinks) should be submitted to the secretary. This will be posted on the CRASIS website.
