AARG Fund
Since 2021 AARG offers funding for its members and Working Groups for projects that further the objectives of the Group. Applicant who is currently a member of AARG and has been so for at least 2 consecutive years or is an employee of an organisation that has AARG corporate membership may submit a funding Application as Principal Investigator (PI).
Funding for project work will preferentially be awarded to Applications that demonstrably advance knowledge and understanding within the field of aerial archaeology. By this we mean projects in support of one or more of the following broad purposes: field or desk-based work, publication (excluding journal publication costs), public engagement, collection of airborne remote sensing data, education and training (of an individual or a group).
