Applications for the Museum Studio travel grants are now closed!
The application process of the Museum Studio travel grants to take part in the EMYA2025 Annual Conference and Awards Ceremony is now closed. The closing date was Sunday, 23 March 2025.
Please stay tuned for our future announcements about the next edition.
Since 2017, the Museum Studio has been offering each year approximately 6 travel bursaries (previously known as the Event Travel Grants), that are awarded to individuals belonging to the following categories:
Staff of museums nominated for EMYA who would otherwise be unable to attend.
Emerging museum professionals – the next generation of innovators.
EMF National Correspondents
We thank the Museum Studio for its generous support.

How to apply
Applicants are expected to send an informal letter of application, in addition to a CV, as an email attachment to Pedro Branco, EMF Administrator, at emf@europeanforum.museum. The letter should be addressed to the Selection Committee and not exceed one printed page, telling us about your motivation for applying and describing what the bursary would mean to you.
The grants are awarded by a Selection Committee that includes representatives of Museum Studio, EMF Board of Trustees and EMYA Jury.
The travel grants are not accountable: it is up to a grantee whether the money is spent for travel, accommodation, or participation fee (early-bird registration fee is applied). No financial report is required; however, the winners of travel grants are requested to complete a short article (300-500 words) on the event, describing what they got out of attending EMYA, which we can be used on our website.
The winners of the travel grants shall attend, in person, the annual conference and awards ceremony for the whole time of the duration of these events. In the case of a failure to attend the conference, the grant will not be paid by the EMF to the grantee and will be given over to the next person on the selection list.
