Preserving Social Memory: History and Social movements

The small grants programme is intended to support small scale projects for the preservation and dissemination of alternative historical sources, such as visual and audio material. It is important that these initiatives are well-connected to local intellectual communities and social movements and that their results will be accessible to a wide audience.

Applications should include

• A proposal (maximum of 4 pages) presenting the objectives of the project and its relevance to one or both of the Sephis themes and one or more of the aims of the grants for social movement and their sources
• A budget (not exceeding the amount of Euro 10,000 and specifying the contribution by the organizing institute)
• An authorized letter from the organizing institute stating that it assumes the responsibility for the proper conduct of the project
• Indication of the relationship/partnership between the research team and social movements
• A dissemination plan (for example through radio and other media).

Research proposals will be selected by the Sephis Steering Committee, which consists of historians from different regions in the world. The applications will be evaluated according to academic quality, feasibility, relevance to local intellectual communities and social movements and relevance to Sephis themes.

The applications must be received at our office before April 1

Applications should be written in English.

Incomplete applications, applications by fax or e-mail and applications which exceed the stated length cannot be considered.
