The Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU) has opened its annual call for applications for the Postgraduate Vibeke Sørensen Grant. The call is open to academics at all career levels, including masters students and doctoral and post-doctoral researchers.
The Vibeke Sørensen Research Grant, which carries an award of €1480, aims to encourage research on the history of European integration and of EU institutions based on primary sources held at the HAEU. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to spend one month at the Archives for the consultation of archival holdings.
Past successful projects include biographies of key figures in the construction of Europe, historical inquiry into various aspects of the European institutions, histories of specific social and environmental policies, and more. Candidates from any discipline are welcome to apply.
About the Sørensen Grant
The Vibeke Sørensen Grant programme for visiting scholars was set up in 1993, by then European University Institute (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 alumna Dr. Vibeke Sørensen (1952 – 1995), who completed her doctorate in the Department of History and was also a staff member of the HAEU.
The application deadline is 30 April 2025. Complete information on the grant programme and how to apply in 2025 can be found here.
