Transnational Access Fellows

The CENDARI Visiting Research Fellowships were intended to support and stimulate historical research in the two pilot areas of medieval culture and the First World War, by facilitating access to key archives, specialist knowledge and collections in CENDARI host institutions.

In particular, the CENDARI project is committed to hosting early career scholars who aim to apply digital humanities methods to their historical enquiry. The fellowships are particularly designed to support researchers from countries without equivalent facilities and early career scholars with limited access to these research infrastructures.

The Fellowships are hosted by the following institutions on a competitive basis:

Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
King’s College London, UK
National Library of the Czech Republic, Czech Republic
University of Göttingen, Germany
​University of Stuttgart, Germany
