Advisory Visits Grant Programme
The Advisory Visits Grant Programme (AVGP) offers support to member museums in need of consultancy. By this means, AEJM is able to provide member institutions with expert advice or in-house training through organising visits by museum experts to our grantees. Please note that grantees will not receive actual money, but an arranged consultancy visit by a skilled museum expert. Applications must be in line with all eligibility criteria.
The AEJM welcomes applications until September 1, 2019.
Who is eligible?
Applicants must be AEJM member institutions
What is eligible?
Applications in the field of curatorial work are welcome in the following categories:
1. Collection Management
To preserve, document, interpret and display European Jewish material culture is one of the objectives of AEJM. Assistance in the preservation of this heritage for future generations plays a key role. AEJM welcomes applications with a primary focus on the identification, preservation, conservation and interpretation of Judaica or other items relating to Jewish life and history. This concerns the research on individual objects and/or groups of objects, or the improvement of preservation and conservation programmes. In addition, applications relating to the improvement of accessibility of museum collections, such as inventories, cataloguing, and digitisation programmes that aim at long-term sustainability will be taken into consideration for grants.
2. Permanent Displays
Exhibition concepts for the permanent display of the museum and its collections may also be considered. This may concern the content of core exhibitions, as well as technical/practical aspects of such displays, such as conservation issues in preparing permanent displays.
What we don’t fund
– The purchase of supplies and equipment
– The development of temporary or travelling exhibition concepts
– Site visits by staff members of the applying institution

How we assess the application

After the assessment the applicant will be informed about the outcome, within two months after the application deadline.
