About Hardt Foundation

Fondation Hardt supports scholarship in classical antiquity, with a clear emphasis on helping early-career researchers carry out short-term study visits in Greek and Latin language and literature, ancient history, and ancient philosophy. It is distinctive for combining direct research support with an academic infrastructure: hosting scholars, maintaining a specialized library, and convening the annual Entretiens on Classical Antiquity for scholarly exchange. Most of its giving appears to serve individual researchers and the broader classical studies community rather than general nonprofit programming.

Giving Approach

Primarily small, in-kind research scholarships for short stays of 2–4 weeks, with accommodation and full board plus some travel support; possible extensions up to 8 weeks. Funding is offered through set annual deadlines, and the prize appears to be a separate periodic award with limited public details.

How to approach this funder

Plan around the two annual deadlines: 30 November for research stays in the early-February to end-of-June window, and 30 April for later stays. Applications are geared to young researchers in classical antiquity, so emphasize scholarly project fit, language competence, and the need for library-based or hosted research at Fondation Hardt.
