Professional research involves both material and travel costs, so lack of funding means that opportunities are missed. This is why the OVN aims to make research grants available to students, PhD-students and senior scholars.
However, due to the limited accessibility of relevant collections, a stop on grant applications has been issued during the corona pandemic.
