The Call for Applications to the CENDARI Visiting Research Fellowships programme for 2014 is now open and the closing date for receipt of applications is the 9th December 2013.

The CENDARI Visiting Research Fellowships are intended to support and stimulate historical research in the two pilot areas of medieval European culture and the First World War, by facilitating access to key archives, specialist knowledge and collections in CENDARI host institutions. 

In particular, the CENDARI project is committed to hosting early career scholars who aim to apply digital humanities methods to their historical enquiry. The fellowships are particularly designed to support researchers from countries without equivalent facilities and early career scholars with limited access to these research infrastructures.

 The following institutions will offer fellowships for 2014 on a competitive basis:

• Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
• King’s College London, UK
• National Library of the Czech Republic, Czech Republic
• Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities (GCDH)
• University of Göttingen, Germany
• University of Stuttgart and Bibliothek für Zeitgeschichte, Germany

Applicants are advised to consider the Eligibility and Award Criteria for the Call carefully when selecting their preferred host institution. The descriptions of the above institutions and contact details for the CENDARI project within each of the institutions are included in Annex 1 to the Terms & Conditions which can be found on the CENDARI website, http://www.cendari.eu/research/visiting-research-fellowships.

The CENDARI Transnational Access programme is financed by the European Union and the fellowships are funded for between 6 and 12 weeks.

All applications should be sent by email to info@cendari.eu with the title ‘CENDARI Fellowship 2014′ in the subject line. All applications received before the deadline will be acknowledged by return email. If you do not receive an acknowledgement email within two working days of submission of your application, CENDARI advise that you contact them immediately.
