KNIR Colloquia

KNIR Colloquia are small, exclusive expert meetings, hosted and funded by the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome.

The purpose of the Colloquium is to offer early or mid-career academics from all fields the opportunity to improve their research profile by organising an international workshop in Rome on a topic central to their current research agenda. The topic should be directly or indirectly linked to the KNIR’s research profile and/or Rome.

The Colloquium can host up to 15 scholars in a 2 day programme. This year, the KNIR sponsors and hosts one such Colloquium.

We warmly welcome new applications for a Colloquium to be held in the academic year 2025-2026. The call is open to Assistant Professors and University Lecturers (holding a PhD) that work at one of the universities that support the KNIR – i.e. the University of Amsterdam, Groningen University, Leiden University, Radboud University, Utrecht University and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

The deadline for applications is 1 May 2025, 23.59 CEST.
