David de Boer zal op 18 maart aanstaande de jaarlijkse Comeniuslezing uitspreken, met als titel "Tussen oude en nieuwe Nederlanders". Recentelijk verscheen het inmiddels veelgeprezen De Vluchtelingenrepubliek. Een migratiegeschiedenis van Nederland, waarin David de Boer samen met 13 andere historici uiteenzet hoe Nederland en de Nederlandse identiteit al eeuwenlang mede worden vormgegeven door vluchtelingen. Een van die vluchtelingen was Jan Amos Comenius.

De Boer geeft in zijn lezing een historisch maar tegelijk actueel inspirerend perspectief op het thema van Comeniusdag 2023, "Migratie en acceptatie: het vluchtelingenvraagstuk", dat al eeuwenlang een heet hangijzer is.

Met zijn lezing treedt De Boer in de voetsporen van eerdere sprekers, zoals Ing. Ahmed Aboutaleb (burgemeester Rotterdam) en mede-auteur van De Vluchtelingenrepubliek prof. Leo Lucassen (directeur IISG). Lees meer

The KNIR aims to be a place of inspiration and meeting for academics at all stages of their scientific careers. University lecturers often have lots of teaching obligations and few opportunities to gain external means of research. The KNIR Colloquia are for them. These are closed, small-scale research meetings (expert meetings) in Rome, facilitated and funded by the KNIR. During these three-day intensive work conferences, early and mid-career scientists can strengthen their research profiles and boost their research.

The KNIR organises up to three Colloquia each year with no more than fifteen participants. All university lecturers working at an NWIB university can apply for this. The selection of candidates focuses on the quality of the application, on motivation and on the relationship with KNIR, Rome and/or Italy. Deadline is 1 May 2023. Read more

The FGw Consortium Fund supports research staff in initiating or consolidating national or international networking activities, with the aim of increasing research collaborations with (inter)national (and non-academic) partners. Ultimately, the fund should pave the way for applications by a consortium, both for EU grants (e.g. Horizon Europe Global Challenges; Marie Curie Doctoral Networks; COST) and in the context of the Dutch National Research Agenda (NWA).
