International Research Workshops

The International Research Workshop Program advances Holocaust research through intensive, collaborative workshops that convene 10-12 scholars from diverse disciplines worldwide to present their work, conduct research, and engage in in-depth discussions that forge new networks and produce innovative scholarship in Holocaust studies.

For 2027, we invite proposals from scholars applying on behalf of university departments or centers, research institutions, or memorial sites that will serve as the host and co-organizer of an international research workshop to be held at the partner institution. Proposals are due Friday, June 5, 2026.

We invite proposals for workshops from scholars across all relevant disciplines each spring. Calls for Applications for the selected workshops circulate in the fall and winter.
