The Research Council supports Ukrainian researchers employed by a research organisation in Ukraine who will contribute to an ongoing Researcher Project. The background for the scheme is the difficult situation researchers and research institutions in Ukraine are currently experiencing. When the war ends, research will be crucial for the reconstruction of the country. The purpose of this scheme is to contribute to maintaining and developing Ukrainian research. International cooperation is made more difficult by the current situation, and the scheme is intended to contribute to increasing cooperation, primarily between Norwegian and Ukrainian research communities. This could also contribute to an increased international network for the Ukrainian researcher and the research community in Ukraine. The purpose is thus twofold: to contribute to maintaining and building up Ukrainian research and contributions to ongoing Norwegian Researcher projects.

The call opens on 1 September 2025 and will close on 29 October 2025 — or earlier if all funds are allocated.

July 4, 2026, marks 250 years since the American Declaration of Independence. This anniversary provides an opportunity to examine critically how independence movements have functioned historically and continue to operate today. While the 1776 Declaration promised liberty, it excluded women, Indigenous peoples, and the enslaved from its vision of freedom. This conference uses the anniversary as a point of departure to explore how independence and interdependence are deeply entangled phenomena. From the American Revolution to the emergence of new states after the fall of empires and the end of communism in Europe, moments of national sovereignty have produced new forms of dependence and exclusion. Scholars from all disciplines and career levels are invited to examine these dynamics in Europe, the Americas, and beyond, investigating how struggles for self-determination intersect with other axes of power including gender, race, and class, from the late eighteenth century to the present.

Deadline for proposals: 23 November 2025 | Conference: 17-19 June 2026

July 4, 2026, marks the 250th anniversary of American independence from Britain. The Declaration of Independence of 1776, an iconic moment in the emergence of the United States as a nation, famously demanded “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Yet the document was authored and signed exclusively by white men, and its vision of freedom primarily applied to their white male peers. While male colonists sought and secured their independence, women, Indigenous peoples, and African Americans were largely excluded from these liberties and remained dependent on the white men in power. Unsurprisingly, the Declaration of Sentiments of 1848 called for greater rights for women, and abolitionist Frederick Douglass pointedly asked in his 1852 speech, “What, to the slave, is the Fourth of July?” – referencing a system of slavery that had by then existed on the North American continent for over 230 years, relegating the enslaved to the status of property.

The American Declaration of Independence was not the only case of a liberation movement that created a new, supposedly free polity by excluding many of those living in its midst. Liberation for some often meant (continued) oppression or persecution of others along axes of inequality including gender, class, religion, and ethnicity. Moments of independence for one (newly created) nation – like the American revolution or the emergence of new states after the fall of empires or the end of communism in Europe – have also resulted in transnational reverberations and transformations. The consequences include shifts in international power axes and inspiring revolutions elsewhere.

This conference takes the 250th anniversary of US independence as a point of departure for a critical examination of contemporary and historical, national, and transnational dynamics of independence movements in Europe, the Americas, and beyond, focusing on their ambivalences and contradictions. It scrutinizes past and present aspects of in/ter/dependence, sovereignty, and self-determination from the late eighteenth century until today. Independence and interdependence are considered not as opposites but deeply entangled, with liberation for some depending on continued subordination of others, while new sovereignties can themselves create new forms of mutual dependence. Tracing the multidirectional and multiscalar reverberations of these phenomena, the conference seeks to explore questions including:

Who remains or becomes dependent in the context of successful and unsuccessful struggles for independence? How are structures of dependence challenged and undermined, and by whom?
How do independence movements generate frictions within local, regional, national, and transregional systems of interdependent communities?
What new forms of dependence or interdependence do such movements produce; and what role does access to soft and cemented alliances, federations, and unions with shared power play?
What are the legal dynamics and consequences of independence movements?
How do struggles for national independence intersect with other emancipatory endeavors, including those relating to class, race, and gender?
How are these processes negotiated in various forms of cultural expression – and how are they remembered?
What are possibilities and limitations of the concepts of independence and dependence for area studies?

Proposals for papers from colleagues at all career levels addressing the abovementioned questions from multiple critical perspectives and fields of scholarship are invited. Papers that engage with spatially or temporally comparative and transnational methodologies are particularly.

Please send your abstract and short biography (each up to 200 words) in a single document in an email with the subject line “LSC Conference 2026” to info@europeamerica.de. The deadline for submissions is 23 November 2025. The Leibniz ScienceCampus will cover hotel costs and can offer a partial reimbursement of participants’ travel expenses if required.

The conference organizers are Prof. Dr. Ulf Brunnbauer, Dr. Carmen Dexl, Dr. Birgit Hebel-Bauridl, and Dr. Paul Vickers. The conference will take place in Regensburg from 17-19 June 2026. Please contact Dr. Paul Vickers (paul.vickers@ur.de) with any queries about the conference.

Beschreibung

Since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the country’s cultural heritage has come under attack in Russia’s attempt to destroy cultural artifacts as a constitutive part of the nation. Historical architecture has been destroyed, cultural landmarks have been damaged, and invaluable artifacts have been looted to eliminate Ukraine’s historical legacy. At the moment, the preservation and protection of tangible and intangible cultural heritage have become crucial for safeguarding Ukraine’s nation.

In this context, the role of the European Union as a cultural and political agent is vital. Collaborative efforts at the EU level, including cultural heritage diplomacy, are designed to promote democracy, prevent conflicts - particularly in relation to contested heritage -, and to safeguard and reconstruct cultural heritage. The Winter School serves as a platform to delve into conceptual questions of cultural heritage and study various realms in which cultural heritage becomes associated with EU policy. It includes case studies and a comparative perspective on the respective processes in other countries and situates the Ukrainian experience within a broader regional framework.

Topic: “Ukraine’s Cultural Heritage: EU Diplomacy and Regional Perspectives”
This Winter School is part of the initiatives of the project “HER-UKR: Challenges and Opportunities for EU Heritage Diplomacy in Ukraine“ that is co-funded by the European Union within the framework of the ERASMUS+ Jean Monnet Policy Debate action and of the Center for Interdisciplinary Ukrainian studies “Denkraum Ukraine” / “Think Space Ukraine” funded by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) with funds from the Federal Foreign Office (AA). The event is organized in close cooperation with the following partner universities: the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (Kyiv, Ukraine), Södertörn University (Stockholm, Sweden), Ilia State University (Tbilisi, Georgia) and in Germany with the Ukrainian Free University (UFU, Munich), the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, and the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (IOS) Regensburg.

Location: University of Regensburg, Germany.

Language of instruction: English.

Target audience: MA and PhD students, and professionals from social institutions and the media who have an interest in exploring the fundamental historical, cultural, and social contexts of Ukraine and its neighboring regions. The program emphasizes Ukraine’s cultural heritage, EU heritage policy, and broader regional perspectives, making it ideal for those seeking to deepen their understanding of these issues in a multidisciplinary setting.

Format:
Lectures and presentations, panel discussions, and movie screenings in the evening.

The program gives insights into the history, politics, culture, and international law with a focus on Ukraine’s cultural heritage and EU heritage policy in a comparative perspective.
Courses will run from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM.
A successful participant can receive 4 ECTS credits (credit points have to be acknowledged by the home institutions, please indicate your interest when registering).

Travel, accommodation, and subsistence costs will be covered by the organizers, we charge a fee of 50 Euro for the participation.

Registration deadline: January 25, 2025 (Please submit an e-mail to olha.martyniuk@ur.de with a short description of your motivation and information about yourself, a maximum of one page).
