ICES welcomes proposals from ICES Members for initiatives that aim to foster European Studies at the EUF by expanding EUF’s research infrastructure, promoting early career researchers, or strengthening academic networking. This includes:

1)      Preparation of a third-party funding application

We support applications for an interdisciplinary collaborative research project in the field of European Studies. ICES helps you to identify suitable funding sources (if necessary), offers personalised advice throughout the funding application process and covers costs for activities that you feel are best suited to prepare a competitive research proposal (e.g. research assistant positions or professional coaching/training).

2)      International Conferences

We welcome proposals from EUF researchers and ICES members who are interested in organising an international conference at the EUF in the field of European Studies and intend to apply for DFG funding within their programme "International Scientific Events". ICES will support you in setting up the proposal and will finance the conference in case your proposal is not successful! With this initiative, we offer a possibility to request speakers (which is necessary when applying for third party funding) without the common reserve "in case it is funded".

3)      (Researchers in Residence) Fellowships

This opportunity is aimed at ICES members who wish to invite renowned colleagues in the field of European Studies to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, develop project ideas or forthcoming publications and support innovative research in European studies. Fellows are expected to participate in the interdisciplinary events at the centre and introduce their research at one of these occasions (ICES Colloquium, Lecture, Workshop or Atelier). The fellowship provides financial support to cover travel, accommodation for the visiting scholar.

4)      Open Access Fees

You can apply for funding to cover Open Access Fees up to €3000 per publication. Funding can be granted if 1) the research article is produced in the context of scientific activities at ICES; 2) the journal/publisher is internationally renowned and fulfills recognized quality assurance standards, 3) the article has already been submitted and you are "submitting author" or "corresponding author" responsible for paying the publication fees. Please refer to each of these points in your application. Publications by early career researchers in pure Open Access journals, dissertations and habilitations as well as publications by EUF members (no matter what career stage) in journals of the Wiley or Springer Nature publishing groups cannot be funded, as funds can be applied for from the Committee for Research and Knowledge Transfer (more information about EUF’s publication funding schemes here).

5)      Research infrastructure

This call is not meant to be restrictive with regard to the type of activity, initiative or affiliation. The proposed measures should, however, be relevant not only to individual members, but should be interesting and accessible to other members as well. Measures that can be funded through other EUF support schemes are not eligible for funding. We generally (co-) fund ideas with up to 3,000 euros. Exceptions can be made in well-justified cases.

For each of the above mentioned initiatives, please send a short description (max. 1-2 pages; English or German) of your idea, background and purpose, as well as an estimate of the costs to ices@uni-flensburg.de by July 1^st. This deadline is not a cut-off date. Applications can still be submitted after that date, but funding is subject to the availability of remaining funds. This call is planned to be announced two times per year in March and September. We are looking forward to your proposals!

The Interdisciplinary Centre for European Studies, ICES, welcomes proposals from EUF scientific staff members who are interested in organising an international conference at the EUF in the field of European Studies.

With this call, we want to encourage you to apply for DFG funding within their programme "International Scientific Events". The DFG funds events such as international congresses, symposia, colloquia and workshops, international scientific conferences, annual meetings, and bilateral events. The grant can be used to pay for staff costs, room rental (including utilities), instrumentation and equipment, printed materials, office supplies, postage costs, travel allowance (travel and accommodation costs). The proposal has to be sent six months prior to the planned event. For more information see http://www.dfg.de/en/research_funding/programmes/international_cooperation/international_events/index.html

When applying for conference funding you need to have a conference programme with a confirmed list of speakers already in the proposal stage. If your proposal is not successful, you have to decline the invitation extended to potential speakers. This fact often discourages from organising an international conference or workshop. The ICES call for proposals aims at offering a possibility to request speakers without the common reserve "in case it is funded".

ICES will support you in setting up a DFG proposal and will finance the conference in case your proposal is not successful! ICES is able to cover costs up to 10.000 Euro. This means that either one large or two small conferences / workshops will be funded.

Please provide a brief request (1 page), including a short description of the conference topic, organisers, intended date, and the expected number of participants, as well as a 1-page budget plan. The application can be sent in English or German. Being an interdisciplinary research centre, we encourage particularly proposals for conferences co-organised by academics from different EUF institutes.

We look forward to receiving your proposal. Please send them to maria.schwab@uni-flensburg.de latest by 01.03.2018.

The newly founded Interdisciplinary Centre for European Studies (ICES) at Europa-Universität Flensburg is pleased to invite applications for its 2018 summer visiting fellowship. This is an opportunity for senior scholars working in the field of European Studies to develop and elaborate on project ideas or forthcoming publications.  Situated on the campus of Europa-Universität Flensburg in the beautiful seaside town of Flensburg, in close proximity to both Denmark and the Baltic Sea, ICES offers ideal conditions for academic scholarship and exchange in an inspiring environment.

The ICES Summer Visiting Fellowship is a three-month, on-site fellowship for the period of May-July, 2018. The residency is meant to give the visitor a chance to exchange ideas and research with other scholars working within the ICES research community and to immerse her- or himself in the vibrant interdisciplinary atmosphere of the centre. In addition to a fully equipped workplace and access to all university resources and services, the fellow will receive a grant to cover the costs of her or his travel to Flensburg, a 500-euro stipend for travel within Germany and Europe during the fellowship term, and free accommodation in Flensburg. The ICES fellow is expected to present on her or his research and to be present in Flensburg for a minimum of six out of twelve weeks.

ICES encourages senior scholars of European Studies from the humanities or the social sciences to apply for this year's summer fellowship. For the application, please send a detailed cover letter and CV together with your project and publication record to the director of ICES by 15th of March 2018:  Prof. Monika Eigmüller, monika.eigmueller@uni-flensburg.de.
