The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation is seeking applications from early-career researchers across a range of fields to participate in a symposium in collaboration with the British Academy on the topic of “Belonging.” The symposium, scheduled for May 7-9, 2025 in Berlin, aims to foster international engagement and collaboration between early-career researchers in Germany and the United Kingdom. It will provide a platform for discussion and networking opportunities to facilitate the exchange of ideas across disciplinary and national boundaries.
The symposium will focus on various aspects of belonging, exploring how conceptions of identity and connections between space, place, and identity influence individuals, communities, and societies. It will delve into topics such as borders, boundaries, heritage, memory, and emotion in relation to belonging and identity. Sessions will cover the mutability, nature, and representations of belonging.
Eligible applicants must be based in Germany, affiliated with research institutions in the country, have completed a PhD within the last ten years, and be fluent in English. To apply, candidates need to submit an application form, a brief curriculum vitae, and a list of key publications. The selection criteria include the applicant’s research interest in the symposium topic, experience with interdisciplinary projects, and the potential benefits of the symposium for their academic development.
For further details and application guidelines, interested individuals can visit the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation’s website.
