Small Grants

The small grants scheme is intended to help ESL colleagues in their ambitions to strengthen their CV's, establish (inter-)national research networks, successfully apply for external research funding, as well as increase impact-oriented activities, while at the same time contributing to the objectives of the sector plan. We invite applications to undertake research activities at the intersection of public and private, of doctrinal and empirical research on a topic that relates to the objectives and topics of the sector plan.

Funding of up to 10,000 Euros is available for research, conferences, networking, or impact activities that foster relationships between researchers at Erasmus School of Law.

Funds are available to:

• support the direct costs of research (e.g., hiring of a research assistant, costs of fieldwork)
• facilitate initial project planning and development (e.g., the writing of a grant proposal)
• enable the advancement of research through workshops or conferences.
• facilitate impact activities related to research (e.g., visualization of research findings, knowledge transfer, and utilization)
• other activities that fit with the objectives of the sector plan

Proposals are welcomed on any topic of relevance to the broader theme.

For additional details about both research directions outlined in the sector plan, please refer to the information available on the Our Research website.
