The ACLC offers up to twelve ACLC Flash Visit grants (700 euros) per year. This type of funding is available on a first come first serve basis. The Flash Visit grant covers travel and/or accommodation costs only.

The Flash Visit Grant (max 700 euros) makes it possible for a Research Group to:

1. invite external collaborators from abroad for a flash visit (a few days or a week) during which they can join specific RG activities, give an ACLC seminar, and collaborate with their host RG on a specific project; or:
2. allow a member of a specific RG to pay a short visit to a collaborating team abroad. This way ACLC members can also join external partners for a couple of days of intensive work.

This grant is meant for ACLC members to pay a very short visit to collaborators in universities outside The Netherlands, or for such collaborators to visit an ACLC Research Group for a short period of time (a "flash visit") to engage in intensive work. Please contact aclc-fgw@uva.nl for the application form for a Flash Visit grant.

Research funds are available to researchers and PhDs employed by the Faculty whose research time is charged to the government/direct funding (“eerste geldstroom”). 

The maximum amount for research expenses to be reimbursed per researcher is € 1,500, including PhD candidates, whose research hours are charged to the government/direct funding. The research fund can be used to meet the costs of conference attendance, research trips, and publication expenses. Researchers and PhD candidates who are working with human test subjects can request an additional € 1,000 per year for the small compensations they give their test subjects.
