ICCROM Fellowships for Research in Heritage Conservation

ICCROM Fellowship Programme: deadline for receipt of Fellowships applications is 31 May 2013

ICCROM encourages senior professionals from institutions or organizations in its Member States to apply to undertake their own research in one of the fields of study of interest to ICCROM. Individuals who have at least a Masters degree or relevant working experience in heritage conservation and who have a specialty in the following disciplines, either as teachers or as practitioners, are welcome to apply:

• art history
• museology
• archaeology
• architecture
• engineering
• conservation/restoration
• conservation science
• urban planning
• library and archives preservation

Fellowships can have a duration of one to five months. ICCROM will help fellows to obtain the necessary documents to enter and temporarily reside in Italy and to find reasonable accommodation. Fellows, however, will be responsible for their own medical insurance which is compulsory.

Due to the current budgetary constraints, from January 2011 ICCROM will no longer be in a position to provide financial support for Fellowships. However, ICCROM will continue to ensure that fellows have office space with a computer workstation, unlimited access to internet and supplies; in addition fellows will have full access to the ICCROM Documentation, Library and Archives Service. At the end of the period of their Fellowship they will be asked to give a presentation on their research.

Candidates are expected to have a good knowledge of one of the two official languages of ICCROM (English and French).

Important: Candidates are expected to undertake their own independent research. They cannot request to be supervised by an ICCROM staff member.
