The Dr. C. Louise Thijssen-Schoute Stichting promotes the study of the history of ideas, especially that of the seventeenth century. With its fellowship program, the foundation aims to help young researchers further develop research in this field. One Thijssen-Schoute fellow is selected each year. The fellow will have a workplace within the Knowledge and Art Practices research group at the Huygens Institute and receive a stipend of €2000 per month for 3 months.
