The Collegium Carolinum supports independent research projects of academics from Germany and other countries which are concerned with the past and present of the Bohemian countries. Among other things, research grants of 500,- Euros each are annually awarded to up to three persons.

Grants may be awarded towards practical research activities (e.g. travelling to archives or libraries) in the context of academic qualifications (e.g. master or diploma theses, dissertations and post graduate papers (habilitation)) or scientific publications (essays, monographs). These should be concerned with the history and culture of the Bohemian countries, Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic or Slovakia. Grants are restricted to such research activities which are not being financially supported by any other sponsor.

The following items should be included with an informal application:

• An abstract describing the research project (one page or an already available description of the project, indicating the overseeing institution),
• a description of the planned research activity (e.g. travelling to an archive or library stating travel dates and the estimated costs),
• a declaration that this specific activity is not being sponsored by any third party.

Applications may be submitted at any time and should be directed to:
