We would like to remind anyone considering applying for our Centenary Awards, that the deadline for applications is 1 week away, at 5pm (GMT) on Friday, 1 May.
The Centenary Awards are intended to encourage early-career Egyptologists: applicants must be current postgraduate students or within five years of having been awarded their degree.
The Society welcomes applications for fieldwork and also for museum/archive-based research, particularly where this has arisen from, or can be related to, present or past EES fieldwork. Applications which enrich the work of the Society’s current research projects and relate to its strategy are particularly encouraged. (See http://www.ees.ac.uk/research/index.html).
Conditions
- Applicants need not be members of the Egypt Exploration Society.
- The award is not intended as a supplement to student grants for regular undergraduate or postgraduate courses.
- The Society expects that the successful candidate(s) will undertake their work before 31 March 2017 unless they indicate otherwise. Save in exceptional circumstances, and then only with the consent of the EES Trustees, an award which is not taken up by the date specified shall lapse.
- The Society does not necessarily undertake to publish the results of work completed by the award-holder. However, the Society will expect award-holders to disseminate the results of their funded research as quickly as possible and by all available appropriate means - online reports/blogs, presentations to EES members and/or donors and/or partner institutions, articles for the EES Newsletter/Egyptian Archaeology, etc.
- The award will not normally be given more than once to the same person.
