Short Visits for CIVICA Faculty
Faculty and postdoctoral researchers in CIVICA universities are invited to submit proposals for a short 2-5 day visit at another CIVICA university.
The call aims to foster collaborative activities, to further existing links or to establish new ones. Activities may include, but are not limited to, giving a CIVICA-branded talk, participating in a CIVICA-branded conference, organising/participating in workshops or seminars for PhD researchers, networking with faculty, discussing potential research projects. The visit should ideally be a combination of a minimum of two activities (e.g. a talk and a workshop). Successful applications will receive funding to cover travel and accommodation. Costs are covered by the home institution.
The application deadline is 5 November 2023, 23:59pm (CET).
The CIVICA Faculty Short Visits Scheme is a series of regular calls that can also be used in combination with the CIVICA Thematic Seminar Series, and/or the CIVICA Workshop on Historical Persistence Mechanisms.
The visits will take place between 1 December 2023 and 15 March 2024, after having been approved by the PDT.

How will the proposals be evaluated?
