Travel grant from the German Archaeological Institute
The travel grant of the German Archaeological Institute is a grant awarded annually by the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) since 1859 to promote young academics in archeology and related sciences.
In general, the scholarship holders spend a longer period of time in the cultural area of classical antiquity, i.e. the Mediterranean area , but also the Middle East . The scholarship holders should get an impression of the countries and the culture, especially the archaeological and historical sites and testimonies. The duration of the scholarship is generally one year, but can be extended by one year in justified exceptions.
History and modalities
The travel scholarship was first awarded in 1859 and was initially called the Reichsstipendium . The first scholarship holders were Alexander Conze and Adolf Michaelis . Initially two scholarships were awarded, primarily to classical archaeologists . With the amendment of the statutes of the DAI in 1874, five scholarships were set up, four for classical archaeologists (at that time often also philologists) and one for a Christian archaeologist . The latter generally required a theological degree up until the 1920s. Since 1927/28, prehistorians and building researchers have been supported with a grant from the Roman-Germanic Commission . At times, half-scholarships were also given for high school teachers. The number of travel grants was based on the funds available and the number and quality of applicants. The theologian Carola Barth was the first woman to hold the scholarship in 1908 .
Since it was set up in 1859, the travel grant has become an extremely sustainable instrument for the DAI in promoting young talent. A majority of the later university professors, especially in classical archeology, were holders of the scholarship. In addition to the travel grant from the headquarters, travel grants are also awarded by sub-organizations of the DAI, namely the Roman-Germanic Commission , the Commission for Ancient History and Epigraphy and the Commission for Archeology of Non-European Cultures .
The scholarships are advertised annually and published in the Archäologische Anzeiger , among others . Applicants must have German citizenship or have the permanent center of life in Germany. The age limit is 30 years. The selection of the scholarship holders takes place at the annual meeting of the central management. When applying, in addition to the respective final theses, two expert reports on the applicant's suitability, curriculum vitae, travel plan and the publications already published must be submitted. The funding is currently € 17,000. The scholarship holders are obliged to attend the preparatory meetings that normally take place in mid-June at the DAI's Berlin headquarters. In addition, they are obliged to take part in the scientific events of the DAI's foreign departments if they are on site at this time. They have to report to the DAI President quarterly and submit a summary report to him after the study trip is over.
In addition to the travel grant, the DAI also awards the Wülfing grant .
