The FIAT/IFTA Media Studies Grant is a funding scheme that aims to promote academic research into broadcast archives and ensure the valorisation of scientific knowledge for archival practice. Junior and senior researchers from across different disciplines (e.g. media studies, history, sociology, political sciences, cultural studies, environmental studies, anthropology, conflict studies, etc.) are encouraged to apply. We strongly encourage applications from outside Europe.
Deadline for applications: March 15th
