Call for the third residential scholarship in 2017 for the study of 20th-century glass-making in Venice, worth € 12.500 for six month research, open to Italian and non-Italian graduates, Ph.D. students or post-doctoral fellows

Thanks to the support of Pentagram Stiftung, also in 2017 the Fondazione Cini is offering a residential scholarship for the purpose of studying the art of 20th-century Venetian glass-making.

The 6-month residential scholarship worth € 12,500 is open to Italian and non-Italian graduates, Ph.D. students or post-doctoral candidates who will propose a research topic preferably focusing on the archives and documentation preserved at the Glass Study Centre of the Institute of Art History of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini.

The winner of the competition will carry out the six-month research at the Glass Study Centre, will have access to the library and the photo library resources with the supervision of a tutor and will be invited to participate in the cultural initiatives promoted by Fondazione Cini.

Furthermore, the accommodation at the ‘Vittore Branca’ Residence campus on the Island of San Giorgio will be an opportunity of interdisciplinary exchanges with the scholars and the scientific community of the Fondazione Cini.
