ISIG supports historical research and scholarly dissemination, with a clear emphasis on Italian-German, transnational, and European history across the early modern and contemporary periods. Its funding is tightly tied to specific calls, hosted fellowships, and collaborative research projects, especially those involving mobility, urban/public space, religion, print/media, and digital humanities. It also prioritizes publication and knowledge transfer, through book series selection and conference participation support for emerging scholars.
Primarily invite-based or call-driven support through competitive, program-specific opportunities: fellowships, PhD/postdoc positions, publication selections, and small travel reimbursements. Awards are often tied to ISIG-hosted projects or residency in Trento, with modest participation grants and rolling/annual application cycles rather than open-ended grantmaking.
Monitor the website for annual and project-specific calls; most opportunities do not accept unsolicited proposals. Strong applications will closely match ISIG themes (early modern/transnational history, mobility, urban culture, religion, digital/public history) and, where relevant, emphasize fit with a Trento-based host project or fellowship; note that deadlines vary by program and some have specific host-university deadlines.
