Frequently asked questions

Read the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions regarding covid-19 in relation to new applications below. A total overview of frequently asked questions can be found here.

The coronavirus means that the future has become more uncertain. Does it make sense to submit an application at this moment?

  • Yes, it certainly makes sense to submit an application. We hope that, in spite of the coronavirus crisis, everyone will keep doing so.

It is possible that the Corona crisis will affect my ability to complete my project. Can I discuss this possibility in my application?

  • If you already suspect that the corona virus may affect your ability to realize your project, you need to discuss this in your application. To what degree might it be affected and how are you coping with that possibility? In order to be approved for a project, a plan has to be achievable and practicable. If the project cannot be begun within a foreseeable time because of the corona virus, it is possible that the application will be refused.

Is it worthwhile to apply for support for travel or a working period in another country during the Corona crisis?

  • Yes. But take into account any potential interference that the coronavirus may have on your plans. If the country you wish to travel to becomes subject to a negative travel advisory after you have applied, then the amount of support is still valid for the period covered in your application. If that negative travel advisory continues for the entire period, get in touch with your contact person at the Mondriaan Fund.

Can I apply for a project in a country for which there is currently a negative travel advisory (code red or orange)?

  • Yes, this is possible if you expect the negative travel advisory to change to positive in the foreseeable future. See also the answers given above. Mondriaan Fund regulations require that we not support projects in countries for which a negative travel advisory is in effect.

Where can I find an overview of the deadlines in 2021?

  • The Mondriaan Fund wants as many projects and grants as possible to continue as normal. Unfortunately, there are no application rounds for the Residencies abroad in 2020/2021. As soon as they can be offered again, we will mention this on our website. An overview of the other deadlines of 2021 can be found in our overview of grants and in the calendar.
