Under the aegis of the Fondation de France

 

Dedicated to the Memory of  Mr. Lazare Carnot (1903 - 1990)

 

 

Institut National du Patrimoine - Annual Fellowships of 5000 Euros

 

 

Since 2003, the Carnot Foundation has annually granted fellowships to young conservators and curators of French nationality who have graduated from the “Institut National du Patrimoine”. The fellowships allow them to undertake advanced scientific research in a foreign country of their choice, according to the nature of their projects. The Carnot Foundation hopes that such opportunities will encourage interest in research and interaction at the international level between Cultural Heritage Conservators and Curators. Through this Fellowship, the Foundation seeks to both enrich the professional practices of the Fellows and to promote French presence in the world.

 

There is a maximum of four, 5000€ fellowships awarded per year.

 

The pre-selection of candidates is made by the Program Directors of the Departments of the two respective disciplines. This is followed by an interview—beginning of November for Conservators, beginning of December for Curators—with the Carnot Foundation Jury, which will make the final selection.

 

The Foundation strongly encourages interested INP graduates to contact former Carnot Fellows for additional information.
