Events
The Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies (VWI) organises academic events in order to provide the broader public as well as an expert audience with regular insights into the most recent research results in the fields of Holocaust, genocide, and racism research. These events, some of which extend beyond academia in the stricter sense, take on different formats ranging from small lectures to the larger Simon Wiesenthal Lectures and from workshops addressing an expert audience to larger international conferences and the Simon Wiesenthal Conferences. This reflects the institute’s wide range of activities.
The range of events further extends to the presentation of selected new publications on the institute’s topics of interest, interventions in the public space, the film series VWI Visuals, and the fellows’ expert colloquia.

Conny Kristel Fellowship Programme 2021 | |||
From Thursday, 21. January 2021 - 08:00

By facilitating international access to an unprecedented range of key archives and collections related to the Holocaust as well as archival and digital humanities expertise, the EHRI Conny Kristel Fellowships support and stimulate Holocaust research conducted by researchers, archivists, librarians, curators, and junior scholars, especially PhD candidates with limited resources. The Kristel Fellowships are funded by the European Union under the rules of transnational access and are thus principally intended for applicants working at institutions established in member states (the EU-27) and states associated to Horizon 2020. Candidates from Central and Eastern Europe are especially encouraged to apply. It is not possible to apply for a Kristel Fellowship at an institution in the same country where one works. Stipend, duration, requirements Kristel Fellowships include a stipend for housing and living expenses as well as travel to and from the inviting institution. These stipends follow the practices of the inviting institution or institutions. Recipients are responsible for securing visas if necessary. Kristel Fellows will have access to the research infrastructure of the respective EHRI partner institution including access to a computer. The applicants can choose the lengths of their stay, with a minimum of one and a maximum of six weeks. (Fellows may extend their stay at their own expense and in accordance with the host institution and visa regulations.) Various host institutions can be combined in one fellowship. While visiting additional research institutions in the vicinity of the respective host institution is encouraged, a regular presence at the hosting institution is expected. All successful applicants are invited to participate in a joint online introductory meeting, where Fellows can introduce themselves and their research and familiarize themselves with the EHRI Portal as well as the other offerings of the EHRI Project. Upon finishing the Fellowship, Kristel Fellows are required to provide either a report detailing the results of their stay and the impact upon their research/project, or a solid contribution (Blog Post) to the EHRI Document Blog. A note on the current Coronavirus Pandemic: Successful applicants are expected to monitor existing and upcoming travel restrictions that might affect their planned stay at the EHRI partner institutions. If the chosen institute cannot be visited due to the pandemic, it will – wherever possible – grant remote access to its archival holdings and to local experts capable of offering additional information and guidance. Where remote access to holdings is limited or entirely impossible, start dates of the Fellowship may be postponed, but the tenure must take place before 30 September 2024. EHRI partner institutions EHRI is offering Kristel Fellowships at one or more of the following EHRI partner institutions; each will be awarded on a competitive basis.
