Volkskrant-IISH Thesis prize 2024
Have you written a great thesis or do you know someone who has? This year, de Volkskrant and the IISG are again looking for impressive theses on a historical subject. Students of studies other than history are also warmly invited to compete. The IISG will award € 1500 to the winning thesis. De Volkskrant will publish an interview with the winner.
Requirements
The prize is open to students who have written a master's thesis at a Dutch university (between 1 September 2023 and 31 August 2024) in the field of history or a thesis on a historical topic (national or international). When judging, the jury will look for theses that are clearly innovative. For example, think of a new topic or an innovative approach to a topic that has already been researched. Nominees will be available for an interview with de Volkskrant and will present their thesis in person at the award ceremony.
Deadline for submissions: 9 September 2024.
Send two bound hard copies of your thesis to IISH, Cruquiusweg 31, 1019 AT Amsterdam, Attn. Jacqueline Rutte. Please also send a digital version of your thesis and a letter of recommendation from your thesis supervisor to: jacqueline.rutte@bb.huc.knaw.nl
