The programme
The fellowship programme, which was launched in 2019 and named after the philosopher Prof. Elisabeth List (1946-2019), offers researchers at the University of Graz the opportunity to conduct gender research in a collaborative project to strengthen their (inter)national networking, to promote junior researchers and to prepare applications for follow-up research projects. With one Incoming Senior Fellow and two to three Junior Fellows, the group should work on concrete research projects, planned applications for research grants, a larger research-related event, and publications.
Objectives: Strengthening research - networking - promoting young researchers
The fellowship programme creates an optimal research environment for collaborative projects in which international senior researchers, juniors and researchers from the University of Graz work together for several months on a shared topic including applications for follow-up research projects, scientific events, science-to-public events, publications, etc. Through the fellowship program, the University of Graz strengthens its own gender studies research with regards to of local and international networking. The fellowship serves to stimulate thematic connections within the university and intensifies as well as expands existing international research collaborations.
Selection and quality assurance: Jury of Experts & Scientific Board
An international jury of experts is appointed for the selextion of the research projects supported by the fellowship program.
Local cooperation takes place via a Scientific Board comprising representatives from the Gender Cluster HUK, the Heterogeneity and Cohesion Research Network, the Gender Studies PhD Programme, the Academic Advisory Board of the Coordination Centre for Gender Studies and Equal Opportunities, the Rectorate and the Coordination Centre for Gender Studies and Equal Opportunities.
