The German Herder Institute has announced an open competition for Ukrainians living outside Ukraine or who are displaced scholars to participate in the Remote Fellowship programme. The programme is part of the project “Documenting Russia’s War Against Ukraine” (LivArch) and aims to support research and activist initiatives working on the theme of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the new realities it has created.
Fellowship participants will work on their own projects remotely, but with the possibility of a short visit to Marburg to exchange experiences with experts in digital history, the humanities, and computer technology. The scholarship is €1,500 per month, with up to €500 to cover travel and accommodation costs during a short stay at the Herder Institute. The programme lasts from one to three months, starting in May 2026.
Candidates with diverse academic and professional backgrounds are invited to apply, but the project particularly encourages those whose research or activism is related to war documentation and archival practices. Applications are accepted until 31 January 2026 and must be submitted in English in PDF format. Proficiency in English or German remains mandatory.
The Remote Fellowship programme is designed to expand the scientific network, support Ukrainian researchers and integrate their contributions into the international academic community. During the programme, participants will collaborate with colleagues and have the opportunity to present their results on public and academic platforms.
