You can apply or nominate someone else for a residency in the autumn of 2027 at KNIR. The Artist in Residence programme is a collaboration between the Society of Arts (Akademie van Kunsten) and KNIR. The programme offers one place for the academic year 2027-28. The application period opens Monday 1 September 2026, and closes Monday 16 November, 12.00 CET.

⏰You can still apply for our archaeological field school 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐧𝐢𝐮𝐦!

In this archaeological field school, you explore the archaeology of mountain society with an international team while doing pedestrian survey and geophysical prospection in the hills and mountains of the Central Apennines. Although the focus of the project is on research, not on teaching, the high staff-student ratio provides ample room for learning in practice. It consists of intensive field and lab work: mainly pedestrian field survey, as well as the study of the finds and GIS documentation in the lab, and geophysical prospection.
BA, (R)MA and PhD students in Archaeology, Ancient History, Classics, Geoarchaeology and related fields enrolled at one of the KNIR partner universities in the Netherlands are encouraged to apply.

Dates: 13 September - 18 October 2026
NB: Due to limited spaces, students can now only apply for dates between 27 September and 18 October.

It is with great pleasure that we announce the publication of 𝐏𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐥. 𝟕𝟓 ...

It is with great pleasure that we announce the publication of 𝐏𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐥. 𝟕𝟓 of our KNIR Fellow, Dr Dario Monti. 🥳

The book, 𝘐𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘙𝘰𝘮𝘦: 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦, 𝘚𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘈𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 (Quasar), is based on Dario’s PhD dissertation, which he defended in 2024 at the Université catholique de Louvain. His doctoral research, centred on the inland region of Sabina in the central Apennines, explored how ancient mountain communities organised their settlement systems, economies, and social structures in relation to both environmental constraints and cultural choices. Moving beyond traditional narratives that frame upland regions as marginal or underdeveloped, it approached these communities as dynamic and adaptive, shaped through ongoing socio-ecological interactions and historically specific trajectories.

For those of you who are interested in Dario's work and would like to have something interesting to read during the summer, Dario's KNIR Papers vol. 75: 𝘐𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘙𝘰𝘮𝘦: 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦, 𝘚𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘈𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 can be ordered from Edizioni Quasar or any regular bookstore and is also available in open access.

Eind 2023 verbleef 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐚 𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐥 als 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭-𝐢𝐧-𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 aan het KNIR om te schrijven aan haar boek. Ze was geselecteerd voor het residency-programma van het Fonds Bijzondere Journalistieke Projecten en kon zich daarom zes weken onderdompelen in een journalistiek project dat betrekking heeft op Rome en/of Italië. De uitkomst van dit project ligt nu in de boekhandel. Rosa's boek 𝘝𝘪𝘢 𝘐𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢. 𝘐𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪ë 𝘷𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘫 𝘱𝘪𝘻𝘻𝘢, 𝘮𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘰𝘴𝘪 𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘤𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘢 is een journalistieke reis door het echte Italië, voorbij de bekende clichés.

The city of Rome from the 1st to the 9th century CE forms an ideal testing ground to think about migration and mobility. Rome had many faces, but throughout its long history it was always a cosmopolis. While the symbolic appeal of the city remained strong, during the longue durée the cityscape underwent radical changes, transforming from a capital of a huge empire into the centre of western Christianity. The aim of this inter-disciplinary course offered by KNIR and the Norwegian Institute in Rome is to identify how migration and mobility manifest themselves in material, visual, and textual evidence.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐢! 🥳

We warmly congratulate our Associated Researcher Flavia Palazzini on succesfully completing her PhD research entitled 𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘰 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦-𝘚𝘢𝘵𝘺𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘦 𝘛𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘢 (𝘛𝘈). 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘰 𝘥𝘪 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪 𝘥𝘢 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘷𝘪 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘪 𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘶𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘶𝘰𝘷𝘢 𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘦 at the Sapienza Università di Roma. Her dissertation focused on the Bronze Age sites of Torre Castelluccia and Porto Perone-Satyrion (Taranto), combining archival research, the recovery and integration of legacy excavation data, and the renewed analysis of archaeological materials to shed new light on the history of these two key contexts in Italian protohistory.
