The Centre for Early Modern Studies at the Department of Art History of the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University in Brno announces a new scholarship programme in memory of Jarmila Vacková (1930-2011). This fellowship program focuses on research questions about Central European art and visual culture from 1400 to 1900. Possible topics include traditional areas of interest as well as new challenges, such as global perspectives, eco-art history, and post-colonial discourse.

The program is intended primarily for junior scholars (within 10 years of completing PhD) and is announced as a short fellowship lasting 30 days. The financial support for this period amounts to €2,000, covering travel and accommodation costs in Brno. The Fellow will receive a desk in the department office, library access, and academic support. Additionally, upon agreement, the Fellow may utilize the facilities of the Art History Department for an extended period, although financial support will not be provided for this additional time.

Residencies must take place between September 15, 2025, and March 15, 2026.
