Fellowship Programme & Otto Bennemann Grant, Georg Eckert Institute, Leibniz Institute for International Textbook Research, Germany (2016)

The GEI’s fellowship programme supports research on textbooks and other educational media. Fellowships aim to provide both young and established academics and textbook authors with the opportunity to use the extensive international textbook collection in the GEI’s specialist library, to conduct comparative studies, exchange ideas and discuss findings with the academic staff of the Institute.Individual fellowships of 1 000 EUR per month are awarded for research stays of between two weeks and a maximum of six weeks. Depending on the availability of funds, assistance with travel expenses (50 per cent of expenses to a maximum of 500 EUR) may be provided. Potential fellows should stipulate in their application whether they require travel expenses to be reimbursed. Established academics and practitioners are also invited to apply for the Otto-Bennemann-Grant (2 000 EUR per month).

Applications are invited from academics, individuals involved in the production of textbooks (design, writing, editing, etc.), employees of educational publishers, and other individuals involved in the development of curricula and textbooks. Research projects should be relevant to the collection in the GEI’s specialist library.
