Research Grant Programme for the consultation of primary sources at the Historical Archives of the European Union
Under the agreement between the International Visegrad Fund (IVF) and the European University Institute (EUI), young scholars from Central and Eastern Europe researching European integration have an important new opportunity at the Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU).
The grant programme provides young scholars from Central and Eastern Europe interested in European integration at large with a unique research experience in the HAEU embedded in the international scholarly community of the EUI in Florence. To address the challenges brought by the current health emergency, the HAEU offers the digitisation on demand of archival files needed by researchers, thus ensuring operational continuity of the grant programme also during the Covid pandemic.
The grant programme for 2021- 2022 comprises two deadlines for applications per year, one on 30 April and the other on 31 October.
Applications must be sent by e-mail to the Historical Archives of the European Union at archiv@eui.eu. Confirmation that an application has been received will be sent by e-mail within one week.
Applications and supporting documents must be submitted in either English or French. The research itself and subsequent publications may be in the language chosen by the grant holder.
Eligible candidates are all current postgraduate students (master’s and doctoral candidates).
Successful applicants will receive a research grant of 5.000 € to cover all research expenses.
