The strategic objectives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation include the promotion of Italian culture, which is also implemented through the granting of contributions to Italian archaeological, anthropological and ethnological missions abroad. The granting of grants takes place annually through the publication of a notice, which regulates the presentation of requests, the selection of applicants and the reporting of expenses incurred.
For 2023, 279 missions were supported through the granting of grants (209) or institutional recognition.
The procedure for requesting grants for this activity was updated for 2024 and is described in the attached call.
Requests and reports are submitted via the archaeology portal
