Overview
Starting in 2011, the Gerda Henkel Foundation is offering Marie Curie Fellowships in the M4HUMAN (Mobility for experienced researchers in historical humanities including Islamic studies) programme aimed at supporting outstanding scholars. This funding initiative is co-financed by the European Commission under the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme for Research. One objective of this fixed-term programme is to increase networking between researchers in the historical humanities at the international level, including researchers in religious, cultural and political sciences under the special programme “Islam, the modern nation state and transnational movements”. Other goals include the promotion of trans-national academic exchange, increasing transnational mobility, facilitating further education and the positive and long-term influencing of the research environment in both origin and destination countries. Research scholarships can be requested for a larger-scale research work or in connection with a research project.
Research projects in the following fields are supported in particular:
History
Prehistory and Early History
Archaeology
Art History
Historic Islamic Studies
Legal History
The programme provides 24-month research grants for
two categories of researchers:
-Experienced researchers (holding a doctorate or with 4 to 10 years of comparable and proven research experience)

-a comparable academic ranking, or with more than 10 years of comparable and proven research experience)
