Prins Bernhard Fonds
The Dutch Prins Bernhard Fonds has a special programme for supporting
collaborative projects between Dutch and East European institutions. ('East
Europe' here are all the former Eastern Bloc countries, also incl. the
former Yugoslavia.) These projects can come from the educational as well as
in artistic and more generally cultural sector. Mijnheer Moors is currently
responsible for the programme and he gave the following information on 23
June 1996. (There is no folder or printed information available at the
moment.)
Some of the criteria are:
- projects have to be cooperations between Dutch and East European partners
and have to take place in the East European country;
- projects have to improve, strengthen, enhance the cultural infrastructure
of the East European country; they should therefore not only be incidental
but have to provide structural support;
- projects have to fully be for the benefit of the East European partners
("uitvoering moet in haar geheel de Oosteuropeanen ten goede komen");
- the application to the Prins Bernhard Fonds is made by the Dutch
institution; it has to include a letter describing the project, its aims,
the expected results, it must mention the other supporting organisations
and a budget with costs and incomes;
- the application procedure can take a maximum of 3 - 4 months, depending
on the timing of the application in relation to the respective committee
meetings; there are no fixed deadlines;
- the extent of the possible support is not limited, neither as a percetage
of overall costs nor as a maximum total sum.
