ESSE BURSARIES for 2010



In 2010, ESSE continues to offer TWO types of Bursaries:

1. A number of bursaries of up to 1500 euros each will be available for scholars in need of support to pursue a project or programmes of research leading to the writing of their PhD dissertation. (The age limit for this type of bursary is 40!)

2. A number of bursaries of up to 1500 euros each will be available for scholars already holding a doctorate or its equivalent and employed at Universities in Central and Eastern Europe who are in need of support to pursue a project or programme of research.

In both cases, winners are expected to make a short-term visit to a country where they identify an outstanding holding, collection, or other type of material relevant to their research. Conference participation is not supported by these bursaries; award winners may extend their visit at their own expense to attend a conference in the country concerned, but no part of the conference expenses will be covered by the bursary. Bursaries must be utilized and the study trips completed by the application deadline for next year's bursaries, that is 1 March 2011. After completing the research trip, winners will be asked to send a financial report to the Treasurer of ESSE and a report about their results to both the Treasurer and the Chair of the Selection Committee.

Applicants for the first type of bursary are required to be members of their national associations affiliated to ESSE, except for those whose associations do not consider PhD students eligible as members; in this case, their supervisors or the department to which they are affiliated must be ESSE members.

Applicants for the second type of bursaries must be registered members of their national associations affiliated to ESSE.

The deadline for applications for both types of Bursaries is 1 March 2010. Notification to the applicants should be sent (electronically) by 15 April. Applicants should send electronically to all three members of the Selection Committee:

• the completed application form, downloadable from the website, with sections for personal information, a list of the applicant’s most important publications, a research plan, and a provisional budget proposal;
• a scanned or electronically generated letter issued by the president or the secretary of the appropriate national organization to certify the membership of the applicant (or his/her supervisor in Germany and the UK);
• for Type A bursaries, a letter of recommendation, sent directly via email to all three members of the Selection Committee by the supervisor of the PhD candidate.
