Scholars at risk from war zones and refugees of conscience (scholars fleeing authoritarian regimes) are especially invited to apply.

Valentin Sandulescu @valisandulescu.bsky.social · Apr 8

Applicants, preferably but not exclusively from a V4 country, may be researchers, students after their second degree carrying out research, socially engaged artists, as well as journalists.

Valentin Sandulescu @valisandulescu.bsky.social · Apr 8

With submission deadlines usually in July and November, the call invites applications along a central theme linked to the Archivum’s holdings. In the 2025/2026 academic year, the recommended theme of the proposals is Living in dystopian times: Lessons from the Cold War (and after).
