Becoming a Friend of the RIAS helps us organize exciting activities and fulfill our mission to promote a greater understanding of American society and transatlantic relations.
The Friends of the Roosevelt Institute for American Studies Foundation aims to acquire and manage resources for the activities of the RIAS.
Each year, the RIAS organizes academic conferences, workshops, and public events on American history and transatlantic themes. Additionally, the RIAS offers grants to scholars, doctoral candidates, and students who come to Middelburg to conduct research in the RIAS Library. We also host student excursions, PhD seminars, and regularly the annual ‘Amerikanistendag.’
The Friends of the RIAS has created the RIAS Student Scholarship to enable students and doctoral candidates to spend a month in the RIAS library using the archival collections. The scholarship amounts to €1,000, awarded once a year. For more information about this application procedure, contact friendsrias@roosevelt.nl.
