The 2009 Marc de Montalembert Grant for the Understanding of Mediterranean Culture

Marc de Montalembert Grant is a scholarship set up by Fondation de France in 1994. Every year, it offers a young Mediterranean a grant of 7000 Euros for a project linked to the knowledge of the cultures of the Mediterranean region. The research project will take the selected candidate beyond the frontiers of his own country, immersing him deeply into another culture, so to witness the rich cultural diversity of the Mediterranean world.

Malta is not new to this grant: Albert Gatt and Karl Schembri, two Maltese scholars, won the 2002 edition with a joint project on the narrative construction of post-colonial identity in the Mediterranean.

The deadline for applications is on 31 December 2008. The winning candidate will be chosen by March 31 at the latest, and will be granted the scholarship during a ceremony in Rhodes on 25 April.
