Marc Bloch Prize

The Department of History and Civilisation at the European University
Institute in Florence is proud to announce the

Marc Bloch Prize in Modern European History (15th -21st centuries)

The Prize for 2010 will be awarded to the author of the best new MA
thesis in early modern or modern European history and in the history of
Europe in the world. In keeping with two central aspects of Marc
Bloch’s
historical oeuvre, only studies with an explicit comparative or
transnational perspective will be considered. Submitted theses should be
of a high scholarly historical nature, and research accuracy, innovation
and literary merit will be important factors in the final selection.

A prize of EUR 3,000 will be awarded in a ceremony at the EUI in
Florence. The winner of the prize will be invited to give a talk on the
subject of her/his thesis.

Eligibility is limited to candidates holding an MA degree (awarded in
2009 or 2010), EUI members are not eligible. Theses must be submitted by
the original author, and can be submitted in any European language.
