For the attention of all current post-graduate students in classical 
studies:

THE THOMAS WIEDEMANN MEMORIAL FUND
Registered Charity No. 1091203
RESEARCH GRANTS FOR POSTGRADUATES IN CLASSICAL STUDIES

http://www.thomaswiedemann.org.uk

Thomas Wiedemann, Professor of Latin at the University of Nottingham from
1995 to 2001, died on 28 June 2001, aged fifty-one. Generations of 
students at Bristol and Nottingham were inspired by his teaching, and he 
had a huge influence on the study of the ancient world through both his 
writings and his many friendships. A memorial fund has been established in 
memory of Professor Wiedemann for the support of postgraduate study of the 
ancient world at UK universities. The trustees of the fund are Prof. 
Richard Buxton (Bristol), Prof. Stephen Hodkinson (Nottingham, Chair), Dr 
Oswyn Murray (Oxford), Dr Jonathan Prag (Oxford, Secretary and Treasurer), 
Prof.
Christopher Rowe (Durham) and Prof. Alan Sommerstein (Nottingham). 
Donations to the fund continue to be welcome (see the website for further 
information).

Grants from the Fund are available to assist with the costs of visits to 
universities, libraries, or museums in the UK or in Eire, related to 
actual or planned research activities. Any student taking a taught or 
research postgraduate course related to the ancient Greek or Roman world 
at any university in the UK or Eire is eligible to apply. Grants will be 
made mainly for the costs of travel, though assistance may also be given 
with accommodation and subsistence costs. It is expected that applicants 
will normally also seek a contribution to their costs from their own 
institution, and that in normal circumstances the home institution will 
aim to match the Fund's contribution, or at least to share part of the 
costs. The trustees are particularly keen to support attendance by 
individuals or groups at seminars or conferences. However, grants for 
attendance at the Classical Association Annual Conference, the Triennial 
Meeting of the Hellenic & Roman Societies, or at the Annual Meetings of 
Postgraduates in Ancient History
(AMPAH) and in Ancient Literature (AMPAL) will be made only in exceptional 
cases. Applicants are reminded of the existence of several other more 
specific funds which may be more appropriate, such as the SPHS's Dover 
Fund.

Applications for grants should be made by completing and submitting the 
online form, normally at least one month before the intended date of 
travel.

Applicants should also ask their supervisor or course director or another 
referee to send a brief statement in support of their application by e-
mail to Dr Prag ([log in to unmask]).

Awards will not be made for travel to countries other than the UK or Eire.
Students are eligible for only one award in a single academic session.

The Fund is grateful for the ongoing financial support of the Classical 
Association, the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies, and the 
Higher Education Academy (HEA) History, Classics and Archaeology Subject 
Centre. The CA and the SPHS both currently make over a sum of money 
annually to the Fund on the basis that they support the same objects and 
currently endorse the Fund as being an effective means to make grants to 
postgraduates in the UK or Eire. The HEA Subject Centre has likewise made 
a grant to the Fund under the title of 'Preparing future faculty', with 
the intention specifically of supporting research postgraduates who have 
been invited to present papers. Grants made by the Fund are therefore 
frequently made in the name of one or more of these bodies.
