“Building on the Past: The European Doctorate in the Social History of Europe and the Mediterranean” is a consortium of departments of history and related disciplines in ten leading academic institutions in different European countries.

Funded within the EU’s sixth framework programme (Marie Curie Fellowships for Early Stage Training), the network provides innovative research and training for early stage researchers and fosters transnational mobility of doctoral students who participate in the doctoral school of one of the partner universities. The European Doctorate includes research about any period of Europe’s history and has a strong orientation towards theory and methodology. Each year, the fellowship is framed by an introductory and a concluding seminar held at one of the partner universities together with academics from each participant institution.

The concluding seminar of Marie Curie Fellows 2008/09 is held at Bielefeld University from 18 to 20 June 2009. Visitors are very welcome.
