Inaugurated by a generous donation from the Institute for Aegean Prehistory to the British School at Athens Appeal and augmented by further donations, the Knossos Research Fund promotes research into, and knowledge of, Knossos in all aspects and across all periods, through supporting specific projects and contributing to the infrastructure at Knossos for research. Suitable topics for grants include, but are not limited to, the following: Study for publication of unpublished excavations and fieldwork at Knossos, including those of Evans; other museum-based study for research and publication; new fieldwork projects, major and minor, including those that contribute to knowledge of the city and settlement of Knossos in all its phases, and to the long-term safeguarding of the archaeological resources of the Knossos valley; the maintenance and enhancement of the research facilities at Knossos, to ensure a good working environment for all scholars. If applicable, they should first obtain permission to study the material in the Stratigraphical Museum at Knossos using the BSA online form at https://www.bsa.ac.uk/application-to-study-at-the-stratigraphical-museum-in-knossos/
