As the world’s leading organisation of media archives FIAT/IFTA actively encourages and enhances the collaboration between research and archive communities. The FIAT/IFTA Media Studies Grant is one of our ways to ensure the valorisation of academic knowledge for archival practice, as well as to promote research of holdings of member television archives.
