For arts, architecture and science
Ammodo Foundation is a charitable organisation established on 3 September 2010 and is recognised by the tax authorities as a Public Benefit Organisation. The objective of Ammodo is the not-for-profit provision of (financial) support for, or the realisation of, projects of general social interest and of cultural, philanthropic or scientific nature.
Ammodo supports the development of arts, architecture and science by contributing to innovative projects in arts, projects in social and ecological architecture, and cutting-edge scientific research. Ammodo also produces documentaries to increase the visibility of pioneers in their fields.
In the field of art, Ammodo’s policy is implemented by supporting projects in the visual and performing arts across three categories:
– developing art and artists with the potential to reach international excellence;
– developing art and artists already established as internationally excellent;
– developing Dutch institutions which play a defining role in the international cultural scene.
Art projects are awarded throughout the year.
In the field of science, Ammodo’s policy is implemented through:
– the Ammodo Science Award for fundamental research, which stimulates fundamental research by individual excellent researchers who obtained their PhD no more than 15 years ago;
– the Ammodo Science Award for groundbreaking research, which stimulates potentially groundbreaking research conducted by a group of scientists collaboratively;
– the Ammodo Science Fellowship, which stimulates scientists in the early stages of their careers. This fellowship will be awarded for the first time in 2024.
The Ammodo Science Awards and the Ammodo Science Fellowships are awarded biennially.
In the field of architecture, Ammodo’s policy is implemented through:
– the Ammodo Architecture Award for local scale, which aims to encourage talent and social architecture in vulnerable circumstances and the creation of a knowledge network;
– the Ammodo Architecture Award for social engagement, which aims to encourage young designers A, S & L (mid-career high potential) who focus on innovative and social architecture and the creation of a knowledge network;
– the Ammodo Architecture Award for social architecture, which aims to encourage top talent by nominating an excellent, socially architectural building/spatial project and the creation of impact;
– a knowledge platform in the form of a website which stimulates and brings together projects different projects.
The Ammodo Architecture Awards are awarded annually, starting in 2024.
Ammodo actively seeks potential partners within the fields of visual arts, performing arts and science, to explore with them the potential for cooperation. Ammodo does not welcome unsolicited project proposals. Information concerning the actual implementation of the policy can be found on the website.
