Research Innovation and Sustainability Fund

The UvA Faculty of Humanities offers a new funding scheme that aims to support staff in their career development within the faculty and to expand their opportunities to conduct research.

The Research Innovation and Sustainability (RIS) Fund enables employees to apply for temporary teaching release in order to have more time to write grant applications, or to finish one or more (substantial, strategic) publications so as to strengthen the track record significantly and qualify for a successful grant application in the near future.

In 2018 approximately ten applicants can be awarded a RIS fellowship.
