The KB Lectures
The KB Lectures are organised in conjunction with the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB) - National Library of the Netherlands. The Lecture, often based on the KB's special collections, is given by the KB Fellow.
The KB Fellowship is a joint venture between the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB) - National Library of the Netherlands and NIAS. It is awarded to a renowned foreign scholar in the humanities and offers sustained access to the extensive collections of the National Library. The research facilities provided at both institutes allow the recipient to reap the benefits of both places: the KB's unique collections and NIAS' international and multidisciplinary environment. With the implementation of this fellowship, NIAS and the National Library hope not only to encourage and strengthen te collaboration between libraries and their collections and between scholars and their research but also to further the dissermination of knowledge in the humanities and to promote research in this area.
