For UNIMA, it opens opportunities for history, legal history and archaeology.

Gerda Henkel Foundation · Germany

A German private foundation funding the historical humanities—archaeology, history, art history, legal history, prehistory, the history of science, and Islamic history. Its significance for UNIMA is a single sentence on its own eligibility page: support does not depend on the applicant's nationality or location. Almost every comparable European humanities funder reviewed in this search required a European anchor institution; this one does not.
