Gonda Fund
Each year IIAS reserves a number of places for Indologists who have been awarded a fellowship by the J. Gonda Foundation. These fellowships are intended for promising young Indologists at the post-doctorate level to spend a period of three to six months at IIAS.
About The J. Gonda Foundation
The J. Gonda Foundation is a foundation of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) that supports the scholarly study of Sanskrit, other Indian languages and literature, and Indian cultural history. The Foundation has been funding scholarly publications and re-issues of existing works since 1992. Other activities include the annual Gond Lecture.
The Foundation’s assets consist of the estate of Indologist J. Gonda, who was a member of the Academy.
Other funding options by the J. Gonda Fund
In addition to the fellowships for research at IIAS as described above, the Gonda Fund also covers funding for:
- a project or publication in Indology by researchers or scientific publishers
- PhD student grants for promising PhD students for a special research project, a working visit abroad, or another activity.
