Department of Art and Media grants
For travel grants priority is given to enable participation in significant international and national artistic events, conferences and forums. Grants may be applied for by bachelor and master students and teams of students from the Department of Art and Media. Travel grants may cover only costs of travel and accommodation, as well as event registration fees. Daily subsistence allowances are not provided.
Production grants are intended mainly for expenses such as production materials and exhibition/performance expenses. Production grants cannot be used for paying wages or salary for the student’s own work. Production grants may, however, be used to pay for services from companies. Standard working equipment, such as laptops, cannot be covered. Please note that our production grants may be used for costs related to the production of the artistic component of a thesis, but may not be used for thesis printing or publication costs, nor for any related activities normally covered by study program/course budgets.
IMPORTANT: Starting in 2023 the Department of Art and Media has allocated six separate annual budgets for doctoral candidates based on the DA research fields in the Department. DA students are instructed to apply for funding via email directly from the professors responsible for these budgets. DA students can only apply for the Department of Art and Media grant if the annual budget for their research area has already been used.
The maximum grant amount is 800€ per applicant.

- Grants can be awarded retroactively only in exceptional circumstances, for example when the applicant is invited to present at a conference and the conference takes place before the next available application deadline. Flights etc. can however be purchased in advance before receiving the grant and receipts reported afterwards as part of your grant budget.
- You should apply for other funding sources and include any funds awarded in your application.
- By applying for a grant you give permission to publish and promote your project and include your name in various documents and venues
- The grant process may take some time and decisions are final and will not be reconsidered.
- When possible, grants will be paid in advance. Grant payments are subject to monthly payroll deadlines. Payments are made between 2-4 weeks after approval.
- Copies of receipts are required when reporting the use of the grant. If receipts are not reported or acceptable, you will have to reimburse the Department.
Reporting
- The grant has to be reported no later than 30 days following the use of the funds using the link you receive from Salesforce after your grant application has been approved
