The Royal Historical Society is pleased to announce the next call for its RHS Workshop Grants for projects taking place in 2025.
This scheme provides funding of £1,000 per Grant to enable historians to undertake activities, broadly defined, to pursue historical research, study and discussion. In this round, the Society will make up to six awards for Workshops to be held in 2025. Applicants / lead organisers of a Workshop must be current Fellows or Members of the Society.
RHS Workshop Grants enable historians to come together to pursue projects of shared interest. Projects are purposefully and broadly defined, and may focus not only on academic research but also a wider range of activities relating to historical work. These may include but are not limited to:
- discussion of a research topic or project by collaborators;
- evaluation of historical methodologies, theories or practice;
- workshopping and manuscript review of a proposed edited collection;
- beginning and testing a research idea, leading to a future project;
- piloting work relating to the teaching, research or the communication of history;
- planning and writing a funding proposal;
- undertaking networking and building of academic communities;
- activities that combine, where appropriate, historians from a range of professional and other backgrounds, including higher education, related sectors of the historical professional, and community history groups.
- Workshops may be open to an audience or closed to invited attendees according to the organisers' preference.
The Society is particularly keen to support activities for which alternative sources of funding are very limited, or do not exist. The Society seeks to provide grants to those in greatest need of funding, where options for institutional support are minimal or not available.
Each Workshop receives £1,000 from the Royal Historical Society to cover attendance and the costs of a day meeting.
For more information on the Call please see here. For questions relating to the Workshop Grants, please email: administration@royalhistsoc.org.
Applicants are welcome to consider hosting Workshops at the Society’s offices at University College London, if desirable.
