Applications for funding should meet the following criteria:

  • the event should be organized by an ASCA member and be relevant and open to other researchers in cultural analysis;
  • in principle ASCA does not offer fees to speakers (sometimes exceptions are made for artists and activists)
  • the funding application should be sent well in advance of the event or deadline for submissions and should include a short description of the event, the names of the organizers and a budget
  • at least one month before the event or the deadline for submissions, ASCA receives an announcement in English for the website and the newsletter;
  • ASCA is acknowledged in all materials related to the event as (co-)organizer;
  • ASCA only sponsors events which are inclusive and respect diversity.

Depending on the needs of the organizers and ASCA’s available budget, ASCA will sponsor events for a maximum amount of € 1.000,- .
