Call for EADH Small Grants (2025-2026)

Call for EADH Small Grants (2025-2026)

We are delighted to announce that the European Association of Digital Humanities (EADH)  is launching a new Small Grants funding round. All current EADH members, including members of our Associate Organizations (Associazione per l’Informatica Umanistica e la Cultura Digitale [AIUCD]; the Czech Association for Digital Humanities [CzADH]; the Association for Digital Humanities in the German Speaking Areas [DHd]; Digital Humanities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries [DHNB]) are invited to apply for financial support for initiatives consistent with the scope of EADH's activities, as stated in the Article 2 of our Constitution:

The objectives of the Association are to promote the advancement of education in the digital humanities, through the development and use of computational methods in research and teaching in the Humanities and related educational disciplines.

The deadline for submitting a proposal is 23:59 (CET) of 16 November 2025 and a maximum of five grants of 1,000 Euros each will be awarded during this call. To submit a proposal, please download and fill the application template in all its parts and send all requested documentation in ONE email to grants@eadh.org. The results will be communicated to the participants and publicly announced by 02 February 2026. Awardees will also have the opportunity to present their work-in-progress at the next EADH conference, should they wish to do so.

Who can apply?

The call is open to all practitioners working in all Humanities disciplines who can demonstrate proof of direct membership to EADH or direct membership to one of our Associate Organizations (AIUCD, CzADH, DHd, DHNB). Early-career researchers (from graduate students to postdoctoral researchers up to and including the fifth year after completion of the PhD) are especially encouraged to apply. Applications must come from intended beneficiaries directly: it is not possible to redistribute the grants (for example in the form of bursary schemes) to other recipients under the terms of this call. The application must have a single lead applicant (even if they are representing a team) and that person must be an EADH member (or relevant AO member, see below) at the time of sending in the application (by 23.59 CET on 16 November 2025). Proof of membership varies across our AOs, but usually consists of a membership number provided by the relevant organization and/or proof of bank transfer with the date when the membership fee was paid and the name of the member. EADH members can be the lead applicant of only one application per funding round, and can be included  as team members in a maximum of two applications per funding round.
