Introduction and general aims:

The European Academy of Yuste Foundation announces its European Research and
Mobility Grants for European Studies 'Charles V European Award 2008-Simone Veil'
(ten grants of 3,000 euros each) and its "V Summer Doctoral Seminar in
Contemporary European Multidisciplinary Studies" with the academic support of
SEGEI (SocioEconomic Governance and European Identity) Research Network , to
take place at the Royal Monastery of Yuste (Extremadura, Spain) in the second
week of July 2009. 

These grants are aimed at supporting:

- the research within Europe required to prepare the contribution to the
doctoral seminar in the Royal Monastery of Yuste; 
- the researchers' travel to Yuste to participate in the  seminar and to attend
the ceremony of presentation of the research papers; 
- the publication of the researchers' contributions in a collective work,
encompassing the results of the research carried out in the framework of these
grants. 

The research theme for these "Charles V European Award" grants is related to the
latest recipient of the Prize awarded by the European Academy of Yuste
Foundation, in this case former President of the European Parliament Simone
Veil. As a consequence, the research theme for 2008-2009 will be, from a
multidisciplinary viewpoint, "Memories and Places of Memory in Europe":

These grants are intended for doctoral students who are carrying out research in
a field related to this topic, to enable them to prepare a research paper for
presentation and debate in a Doctoral Seminar on Contemporary European
Multdisciplinary Studies, organised by the European Academy of Yuste Foundation.
This Doctoral Seminar, coordinated by the SEGEI Research Network and the
University of Extremadura, will take place at the Royal Monastery of Yuste and
Palace of Charles V (Extremadura), during the second week of July 2009. The
Seminar will be attended by members of the SEGEI Research Network, guest experts
and Yuste Alumni from previous sessions. The proceedings of the Seminar will be
published in the Foundation's "Cuadernos de Yuste" series (PIE - Peter Lang).

Selection criteria and beneficiaries:

To qualify for these grants, candidates should be European students in the
process of writing a PhD dissertation in history, political sciences, economics,
law and other disciplines of human and social sciences, as well as other
scientific fields, on the topic of "Memories and Places of Memory in Europe".
Candidates should not have obtained a similar Charles V Award grant from the
European Academy of Yuste Foundation or from the SEGEI Network in previous editions.
 
Considering that one of the aims of the European Academy of Yuste Foundation is
to approach Europe and Extremadura, a special stress is made to invite
researchers from Extremadura to participate in this competition, reserving one
grant for a project submitted by a researcher from that region.
 
Papers can be written in English, Spanish or French. However, for organisational
reasons, presentations at the Seminar, as well as presentations regarding
publication and results of research, will be made only in English or Spanish.
Participants whose mother tongue is not one of these two languages should
present proof of proficiency in either.

Applications for the 'Charles V European Award 2008-Simone Veil' can be
submitted from December 16, 2008 to February 6, 2009 (postmarked at the latest
