Awards will be made for print (hardcover, soft cover) and digital publications (ebook, DVD). Applications will be considered only for book-length, scholarly manuscripts on architectural history and the history of the built environment that are currently under contract with a publisher.

Wenner-Gren Foundation
Conference and Workshop Grants
Deadline: June 1, 2013
Award Amount: up to $20,000
Eligible Disciplines: Anthropology
The Wenner-Gren Foundation is dedicated to the advancement of anthropology throughout the world. Conference and Workshop Grants support events that foster the creation of an international community of research scholars in anthropology and advance significant and innovative anthropological research. Conferences are defined as public events that are comprised primarily of oral and poster presentations to a larger audience of anthropologists. Priority is given to major conferences sponsored by large international anthropological organizations that serve as their annual or periodic meetings. Workshops are defined as working meetings that focus on developing and debating topical issues in theoretical anthropology. Workshops involve a small group of scholars who meet for a sufficient period of time to deal intensively with the topic. Priority is given to those workshops that devote the majority of time to discussion and debate rather than to the presentation of papers. It is expected that workshops will result in a publication. For more information, see here. |
Wenner-Gren Foundation

The grant is intended to contribute to the development of an international anthropology that values and incorporates different national perspectives and resources, and to build capacity in countries where anthropology may be under-resourced.
