Scholars and researchers from across Europe are invited to apply for a research fellowship, to visit the special collections, archives, and libraries of our TNA hosts. The TNA (Transnational Access) fellowships are an answer to the need of scholars to have direct, fast, and effective access to research objects, which are located in different countries.
The goal of RESILIENCE TNA is to facilitate direct, fast, and effective access for scholars to the objects of their research. TNA hosts grant access to their collections of manuscripts, rare books, documents and materials. RESILIENCE also provides a unique match-making service, matching TNA scholars with relevant experts who can provide tailored expertise.
TNA users can visit institutions in a country other than the one in which they reside. TNA users will have free access to the collections, as well as tailored support from the institution, and assistance from local experience scholars relevant to the user’s research. A TNA visit thus means faster access to resources, and therefore more effective use of research time.
Users spent typically two weeks at the host institution, meeting experts and scholars, the curator of the special collections, conservator and restorers, etc.
Travel and accommodation expenses – unless otherwise specified on the host’s page – are the responsibility of the TNA user.
