The Henri Rieben Scholarship of the Foundation is put in contest for the 10th consecutive year.
Amounting to 3,000 CHF net per month in addition to the reimbursement of expenses for the journey (place of residence – Lausanne – place of residence), the scholarship allows doctoral researchers from around the world to stay in the premises of the Foundation for a duration of one to three months.
Whatever the discipline of the researchers, their doctoral thesis will have to regard the history or the stakes of the European construction process, or else the relations between Switzerland and Europe.
The scholarships awarded each academic year encourage access to and use of the Foundation’s resources, such as the personal archives of Jean Monnet, Robert Schuman (European papers), Robert Marjolin and Jacques Delors (period 1985-1995). As well as the recently received archives of Benedict de Tscharner and Franck Biancheri. The grant holders selected will be based at the Dorigny Farm, headquarters of the Foundation, located on the Lausanne University Campus.
The deadline for applications is 20 April 2020. The complete application must be submitted electronically. The decisions will be notified to the applicants by the end of June 2020. The following are required as part of the application file in French or English:
- A motivation letter specifying duration as well as desired dates for a stay in Lausanne ;
- A resume and, possibly, a list of scientific publications ;
- A brief presentation of the research project (2 to 3 pages) indicating the plan and calendar ;
