What is it?
The HISTOLAB Fellowship aims at supporting doctoral candidates’ research projects that inquire into innovative practices and methods in history education. These methods and practices can relate to history teaching in the classroom, but also treat innovative methods in public history, such as in museums, memorial places or through the media.
Who can apply?
The Fellowship targets university students enrolled in a doctoral programme thematically related to history education or history didactics with proficient writing skills in English language, whose doctoral research project focuses on innovation in history education and is in an advanced stage.
The HISTOLAB Fellowship furthermore seeks to contribute to the fellows’ professional development by inviting them to actively participate in the European Innovation Days in History Education organised by HISTOLAB, that will take place in spring 2023 and 2024 and in other HISTOLAB activities.
