Humanities Exploratory Workshops

ESF Exploratory Workshops are viewed by the ESF Standing Committee for the Humanities (SCH) as a useful instrument for identifying emerging fields requiring action at a European level. Exploratory Workshops are aimed at helping European research teams to exchange knowledge, establish new links and to explore the possibilities of developing future collaborative actions.

For full details on the aim and scope of the Scheme as well as on the annual Call for new proposals please consult the ESF Exploratory Workshop Homepage.
