ANbi

Ammodo Foundation is a charitable organisation established on 3 September 2010 and designated by the Dutch Tax Administration as a Public Benefit Organisation (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling - ANBI).

Ammodo stimulates the development of art, science and architecture. Expanding knowledge and generating new perspectives in these fields contribute to addressing contemporary challenges and driving society forward. We have developed three programmes that promote and support research and projects in art, science and architecture.

Ammodo Art promotes and supports the development of internationally distinguished visual and performing arts. Ammodo Art focuses on experimental and high-quality productions and development programmes, in close collaboration with our partners in the art world. This support enables art institutions and artists to create new work, contributing to both the development of artists and the quality of the institutions involved.
For more information, visit the Ammodo Art website.

Ammodo Science promotes and supports independent scientific research. The programme is implemented through the Ammodo Science Awards and the Ammodo Science Fellowship. These awards provide funding to scientists at various stages of their careers, both individuals and research groups, in four scientific domains: Biomedical Sciences, Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences. For more information, visit the Ammodo Science website.

Ammodo Architecture promotes and supports socially and ecologically responsible architecture worldwide. The programme is carried out through the Ammodo Architecture Award and an international knowledge platform. The Award is granted in three categories: from locally driven projects, collaborations, and initiatives to internationally recognised projects and realised buildings. For more information, visit the Ammodo Architecture website.

Ammodo Docs are short films, produced and curated by Ammodo, aimed at increasing visibility of the work of artists, scientists and architects. By producing new films each year, Ammodo builds a growing, publicly accessible collection of short films on various contemporary challenges. In fifteen-minute films, renowned Dutch filmmakers invite you to view the world through the eyes of pioneers in art, science or architecture. For more information, visit the Ammodo Docs website.
