Call for Applications: Research Workshops 2017

Global Education Outreach Programme (GEOP) invites individuals and institutions to propose three-day research workshops to be held at POLIN Museum on topics related to the history and culture of Polish Jews, including new perspectives on public history, museums, and cultural memory. GEOP especially encourages interdisciplinary and comparative approaches.

GEOP covers half of the costs of organization (travel, accommodation, and meals). They also offer venues and organizational support before and during the workshops. They will support up to four workshops a year.

Please note that topics dealing with periods prior to the Holocaust are strongly encouraged.

Preference will be given to workshops that lead to an outcome, for example:

• Publication (articles, special issue of a journal, online publication, book)
• Conference
• Course or curriculum in Polish-Jewish studies
• Exhibition or related public history project at POLIN Museum and/or elsewhere in cooperation with POLIN Museum
• We encourage proposals on the legacy of Ludwik Zamenhof on the 100th anniversary of his death.
