Peet Travel Award guidelines

The Peet Travel Award is primarily meant to support projects scheduled to take place in Summer 2026 (including September).

Notes to applicants

The Peet Travel Award is available to support travel and associated costs for research into the archaeology and languages of the pre-Classical Mediterranean, including Egypt and the Near East, Greece and the Italian Peninsula.

Travel should be to the Mediterranean or other locations (such as Museums and Universities) where relevant material or archives are housed. Travel can also involve participation in an archaeological project, a relevant summer school or a similar activity. Please note that the range of awards is normally between £200 and £500.

The scheme is open to any postgraduate researchers and Master's candidates undertaking research in a relevant area. Postgraduate researchers who have been awarded funding from the Peet Travel Award for two consecutive years in the past are not eligible to apply.

The panel will evaluate applications by looking at the contribution the proposed research travel will make to research, particularly to PhD or other degree-based research, and/or professional academic development.

The deadline for applications is 22 April 2026 (5pm). Completed forms should be returned by email (marked as “Peet Travel Award” in the subject line) to  HLC Finance hlcfin@liverpool.ac.uk by this date.

Be as specific as you can about the methods you will employ in any research you will carry out during your trip (e.g., which collections you are going to visit, how are you going to study them, and what is the connection to your PhD research, which skills, training and/or research data you are going to gain as part of your planned fieldwork, etc.)
  • Indicate your itinerary clearly, including the places you will visit, the reasons for visiting those locations, and the amount of time you will spend in each place. Applicants are required to state clearly how they will access the raw data in each location and specify how the data will directly benefit their dissertation topic
  • Indicate additional benefits that you feel you might gain from the trip, for example, in enhancing your experience in relation to your course, developing your skills for a future career or research
  • Your budgets will clearly be estimates, but please be as accurate as possible and base them on current prices for flights to locations to be visited, other internal travel, and other costs. You have to be as specific as possible (e.g., specifying flight or train travel costs, number of days spent, accommodation costs per day, subsistence costs per day, etc)
  • Please clearly mark all items in your budget that you request to be covered in part or in full from the Peet Travel Award by putting a (P) next to eligible costs. Budgets that lack the requisite level of detail will not be considered.
