Fellowships
Are you involved in emergency documentation or heritage preservation in Ukraine?
The Living Archives project offers remote and on-site fellowships in their partnering institution. Within the framework of a fellowship, you have the opportunity to pursue your (research) project connected to the topic with the outstanding partners of the Living Archive project.
Remote Fellowship for Ukrainians abroad and displaced scholars
The project “Documenting Russia’s War Against Ukraine” (LivArch) project invites applications for short-term paid, remote fellowships supporting Ukrainian scholars currently living outside Ukraine. The fellowship supports researchers whose work—scholarly or activist—addresses the new realities emerging from the war and aligns broadly with the project’s thematic framework. Fellows will pursue their research remotely, with the option of a short stay (up to one week) in Marburg to exchange with colleagues in Digital History, Digital Humanities, and Computer Science at the Herder Institute.
