The Call for Marie Curie Action Fellowships was launched a few weeks ago (http://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/apply-now/open-calls/index_en.htm). It is a great, international, and competitive contest, which gives an unique opportunity for researchers to move in a new country and develop their own project in cooperation with a local host centre. The Centro Interdisciplinar de História, Culturas, Sociedades of the University of Evora (CIDEHUS.UE) – www.cidehus.uevora.pt - in Portugal will be very glad to receive applicants from aboard for this European Call.

The Centro Interdisciplinar de História, Culturas, Sociedades of the University of Evora (CIDEHUS.UE) – www.cidehus.uevora.pt - in Portugal will be very glad to receive applicants from aboard for this European Call. Acting in a multidisciplinary research centre, the members of the CIDEHUS.UE focus their work on past and current human activities in the “South”, in a large geographical acceptation (Southern Europe, Mediterranean, Latin America and Africa) as well as in a large thematic sense (peripheral societies, marginalization, North-South relations, South-South relations, southern studies). The disciplinary domains include History, Culture Heritage, Demography, Linguistic, Philosophy, Sociology and History of Education, Anthropology, Library and Information Sciences, structured in three research groups on Southern history, Culture Heritage and Information and Literacy.

The CIDEHUS.UE team is ready to support and work with applicants from social sciences and humanities to build an innovative and high-ranking project on the problem of the “South” as a fruitful and thought-provoking fieldwork for interdisciplinary dialogue and comparative studies. Specially, CIDEHUS would be glad to host projects on:

• Culture Heritage;
• History of Technology and Engineering;
• Fertility and Population Aging;
• Nobilities in Early Modern Times;
• Iberian Inquisitions;
• Medieval Clergy and Social Mobility;
• Minorities in Medieval and Early Modern Times;
• Philology and Digital Humanities;
• Urban History.

Please, consider this Call for you or colleagues you may know, make it circulate within your networks and see the site of the CIDEHUS.UE for further information. Do not hesitate to contact us as well.

The CIDEHUS.UE team is waiting for the proposals up to 20^th of July 2013.
