Support and contribute to research on children’s rights, because every child deserves to be heard!

The Children’s Rights Research Fund provides financial support for academic research on children’s rights and related educational projects. The fund supports research and projects that help to improve the daily lives of children around the world and that focus on working directly with, rather than on children, making sure that children’s voices are heard.

Its main focus is on supporting educational and research projects with at least one project member in Maastricht University, that:

• Improve the living conditions of children.
• Research projects always contain a participatory element for children. Research in which children are not involved, will be excluded.
• Educational projects always have a strong focus on critical, creative and problem solving thinking. ‘Passive knowledge’ projects will be excluded.

Proposals for projects can be submitted two times a year. The maximum amounts are €5.000 (research project) or €2.500 (educational project). Applicants should make very clear that they do not have access to the financial means in another way.
