King Baudouin Foundation - Robert Beaujean Prize

Robert Beaujean Prize

You will receive a one-off cash prize of 2,500 EUR, which is awarded once a year for completed work in the field of history or archaeology in the Walloon Region of Belgium. The prize is funded by the Robert Beaujean Fund, which was established in memory of a passionate history and archaeology enthusiast and is administered by the King Baudouin Foundation. It recognises a completed piece of work of high academic quality, but not an ongoing research project.

Who can apply

• Who you are: You are applying as an individual. There is a separate call for applications for organisations; please therefore use the call for applications for individuals.
• Your work: You have submitted a completed research paper which, at least in part, contributes to the history or archaeology of the Walloon Region in Belgium.
• Format: Any format is acceptable: a scientific article, a book, an exhibition catalogue, an educational leaflet or a popular science work. It may be a published work or a manuscript, in paper form, digital format or as a video.
• Field: History and archaeology only, provided that the topic relates to the Walloon Region.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.
• Age and degree: No age restrictions and no qualifications required.

How to apply

Complete the application form on the King Baudouin Foundation’s website and submit it online. The call for applications opens at the end of February and closes on 24 September. A committee assesses the submitted entries once a year, taking into account the originality of the work, its quality, its public impact and its lasting value. The committee may consult independent experts; its decision is final. Each applicant will be informed of the result in writing.
