The European Doctorate in the Social History of Europe and the Mediterranean (ED) provides qualitatively innovative research and training for early stage researchers. It is open to early stage researchers in history and related disciplines researching on any period of Europe?s history, from its classical origins to the present day. They should normally be undertaking a doctoral degree, or actually engaged in research without being registered for a doctorate.
The ED is a consortium of departments of history and related disciplines in ten leading academic institutions in different European countries. Coordinated by the Universit?a? Foscari Venezia (Italy), the network partners are: Universit?a? Foscari Venezia (Italy); National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece); Universit?Bielefeld (Germany); Slovak Academy of Sciences (Slovakia); Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (Netherlands); Instituto de Ci?ias Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa (Portugal); University College London (United Kingdom); Ecole Normale Sup?eure de Paris (France); Universidad Pablo de Olavide de Sevilla (Spain); S?t? h?ola (Sweden) The ED is directed towards early stage researchers who can benefit from a period of mobility in the doctoral school of one of the consortium universities in another country. Each researcher participates in the regular postgraduate training and research seminars of the host university, where he/she is guided by a expert supervisor.
At the beginning of the year, all researchers who have been awarded a fellowship take part in an introductory seminar, together with academics from each of the ED participant institutions; at the end of the academic year, a second seminar is held, in which the ED fellows present the results of their research during their period of mobility and assess its significance in terms of the overall trajectory of their research and training.
