The European University Institute and the European Court of Auditors invite applications for their postgraduate research grants on European public finances. These enable researchers in the field of European public finances to undertake studies at the Historical Archives of the EU in Florence, Italy. Research focusing on European public finances’ impact on various areas of European society, politics and culture, as well as on the development of the EU’s accountability and audit, is encouraged.
The aim of this grant programme is to promote original research into the EU’s public finances and their impact, as well as into the development of the EU’s accountability and audit, in addition to forging a community of researchers in this field.
Applicants must be an EU national. Master’s and doctoral students, as well as postdoctoral researchers and university professors who have completed their Master’s or doctoral degree within the last ten years, and who currently hold an academic appointment, may apply. Applicants should be preparing a thesis, dissertation or scholarly article relating to EU public finance in any of the disciplines of human and social sciences. Good knowledge of English and French is required, and knowledge of other EU languages would be beneficial.
Two grants are available, each worth €5,000 to cover research expenses, travel costs and accommodation.
Deadline: 30 August 2020
