Jobs and Calls

The Institute for Human Sciences (IWM Vienna), together with the Polish Academy of Sciences and generously supported by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education, has established a mentoring initiative for applicants for European Research Council (ERC) Starting and Consolidator Grants in the humanities and social sciences from Central, Eastern, and South-Eastern Europe. This mentoring initiative is addressed in particular to researchers in the areas of history, anthropology, political science, sociology, science, and technology studies, as well as cultural and literary studies aiming to submit in 2026 – 2027.

Internationally established scholars, who have served as members of ERC evaluation panels, or who have held ERC grants themselves will act as mentors during a workshop. The next workshop will be held remotely on 4–5 July 2025. Participation is free; the workshop language is English.
