CfA: Marie Curie Fellowships of the Gerda Henkel Foundation, DL 30.06

Marie Curie Fellowships of the Gerda Henkel Foundation
Call for Proposals

Starting in 2011, the Gerda Henkel Foundation is offering Marie Curie
Fellowships in the M4HUMAN (Mobility for experienced researchers in
historical humanities including Islamic studies) programme aimed at
supporting outstanding scholars. This funding initiative is co-financed by
the European Commission under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme for
Research. One objective of this fixed-term programme is to increase
networking between researchers in the historical humanities at the
international level, including researchers in religious, cultural and
political sciences under the special programme "Islam, the modern nation
state and transnational movements". Other goals include the promotion of
trans-national academic exchange, increasing transnational mobility,
facilitating further education and the positive and long-term influencing of
the research environment in both origin and destination countries. Research
scholarships can be requested for a larger-scale research work or in
connection with a research project.

The deadline for applications is 30 June 2011.
