Our fifth call for applications for Transnational Access Fellowships is open! Users will gain direct, fast, and effective access to the collections of leading research institutions and universities in Europe, guided by experts in the field. As more and more institutions are joining RESILIENCE as TNA hosts, the range of offerings has expanded considerably.
Users of the Transnational Access (TNA) fellowships will gain direct and effective access, both physical and virtual, to the unique collections and expertise of leading research institutions and universities in Europe. In addition, a TNA stay guarantees faster access to resources, which means more effective use of research time. Each host institution offers a place to work and support in navigating physical and digital collections, while also providing locally tailored travel and accommodation tips, as well as additional benefits for the TNA user unique to the institution. Crucially, the TNA user will enjoy expert guidance provided by senior scholars from the host institution, incorporating valuable networking opportunities to the research visit.
