Overview
The Institute of European History (IEG) promotes research on the historical foundations of Europe – comparative or transnational resp. transcultural projects dealing with European communication and transfer processes, as well as projects on concepts and perceptions of »Europe« and »Europeaness« in the period since c. 1450. The cultural, intellectual, religious, and philosophical dimensions of European history are covered as well.
The IEG awards
10 fellowships for international PhD-students
for a research stay in Mainz from June 2010 or later.
Value of this Fellowship
The proposed projects should require a research stay in Mainz for at least 6 months. Funding is
