The Leibniz Institute of European History awards fellowships for international young researchers in history, theology and other historical subjects. The IEG promotes research on the historical foundations of Europe from the early modern period to 1989/90, particularly regarding their religious, political and social dimensions. Projects dealing with European communication and transfer processes as well as projects focusing on questions related to theology, church history and intellectual history are particularly welcome.

Research fellows live and work for between 6 and 12 months at the Institute in Mainz and can pursue their individual research project (extension possible).
