The Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU) is now taking applications for the first round of Vibeke Sørensen Grants to be awarded in Spring 2022.
Postgraduates at all career levels are invited to apply for this grant, which aims to encourage research on the history of European integration and of EU institutions based on primary sources held at the Historical Archives of the European Union.
Interested parties should submit a CV, a detailed research proposal including justification of the need to use the HAEU, a letter of recommendation and planned dates of stay at the HAEU. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to spend one month at the Historical Archives for the consultation of archival holdings.
A maximum of ten Vibeke Sørensen Grants are awarded per year. Successful candidates are obliged to be present in the reading room at least four days a week during their research stay. For the year 2022, applications will be accepted and grants awarded for two separate periods, with deadlines for applications on 31 March and 30 June 2022.
The Vibeke Sørensen Grant programme for visiting scholars was set up in 1993, by then EUI President Emile Noël and with the support of the European Commission. The grant scheme adopted its current name in 1997 to honour the memory of EUI History alumna Dr. Vibeke Sørensen (1952 – 1995), who was also a staff member of the Historical Archives.
