HERA Network funds two young researchers to attend the Early Career Researcher Event

The network HERA – Humanities in the European Research Area – will hold the Early Career Researcher (ECR)event in Slovakia, with the aim of offering 60 young researchers the opportunity to meet, share their research ideas, reflect on their work, and engage in self-development opportunities. The network will fund the participation of two Portuguese scientists who express their interest by August 24.

The ECR event will offer a series of workshops within the scope of the Joint Research Program (JRP III) "Uses of the Past". Participants are invited to present a poster of their research work and will have the opportunity to discuss it in a multidisciplinary environment.

HERA is a network of national funding agencies targeting the humanities community in Europe. It aims to set new innovative agendas with the goal of increasing the contribution of the humanities to the European Research Area, as well as to debates on issues of particular relevance to European society.

The two Portuguese researchers selected by the network will have accommodation and meals provided, as well as air or train tickets up to a value of €200. Transfers to the event venue are also provided.

Researchers, preferably aged 35 or under, who are pursuing their PhD or postdoctoral studies are eligible, provided they obtained their PhD less than seven years ago and are conducting research within the categories of the theme "Uses of the Past".

Expressions of interest, accompanied by a CV and poster abstract, should be sent to the following email address nuno.moreira@fct.ptby 5:00 p.m. on August 24.
