NDGGRANT supports projects by NDG members that deal with design culture and design history in various forms and is held annually.

Objective
NDGGRANT supports NDG members in their professional activities to research, discuss and disseminate design history. Members can apply with a project to receive financial support, recognition, national and international networking and visibility. This way, the NDG promotes high-quality, original proposals that strengthen diverse practices of 'making design history' in Switzerland.

The call supports propositions for, among other things, the release of publications, the curation of exhibitions, the organisation of a symposium, the creation of a vessel for collaboration and publicity, and research activities.

The grant primarily supports projects that open up little-known and little-researched subject areas or current and newly emerging design historiographical methods.

Eligibility
Applicants must be members of the NDG in the year the project is submitted.

Selection criteria
The following criteria will define the selection of projects: (1) originality of the concept, (2) relevance to design historiography, and (3) convincing form of communication.
Applications for travel expenses and expenses already incurred (no retroactive support) and submissions that do not meet the tender criteria will not be considered.
