This year’s final deadline for our Small Grants program is coming up on the 3rd of April 2023. It is earlier than usual due to the conclusion of our grant funding on 31 July 2023.
This program funds training, staff exchanges and projects that support AMICAL’s mission in the priority areas of library or technology leadership, information or digital literacies, and digital liberal arts.
Program guidelines and how to apply are available on our website.
Note that applications for grants of €500 or less (“micro-grants”) are reviewed on a rolling basis outside of the normal application cycles. These will continue to be reviewed through June 2023 (as long as the conclusion of the grant-funded activity is completed by 31 July).
To help you submit successful applications, AMICAL staff will be available to discuss your application at an informal, half-hour Q&A session.
If this day or time is not workable for you, we can schedule additional dates, or setup individual meetings.
