IEG Fellowships Programme 2024/2025 for Doctoral Study in Germany
Leibniz Institute of European History is currently awarding a number of Fellowships for doctoral research study in Germany. These fellowships are open to PhD students from Germany and abroad who have at least a Masters level degree in history, theology or another discipline which works historically.

The fellowships are used exclusively for the purpose of conducting the research project described in the application at the IEG.
Applicants must have been pursuing their doctorate for no more than three years at the time of taking up the fellowship, though exceptions may be made in exceptional circumstances.
Fellows must submit a final report of their project at the end of the funding period.
