Open ICES Calls
We provide grants for researchers at EUF as well as associated ICES members who plan to conduct field research or archive/library stays.

In addition, researchers in qualification phases can apply for funding to participate in European Studies-specific training courses (online or face-to-face). We can fund stays for research or qualification purposes of generally up to 1.200 euros each.They should take place in the autumn semester 2026/27 or spring 2027. Please provide an application (max. 1 page), including a short description of your research project respectively the training program you plan to attend, the necessity for and details about your intended stay, preliminary timeframe, and a budget plan. Applications can be submitted in German or English. We give priority to ICES Research School members when awarding the grants.
