GRiPs promotes current historical research on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by signaling new publications, doctoral theses and scientific events from a wide range of complementary academic disciplines and subfields. Since 2009, GRiPs has fostered and continues to mentor an interdisciplinary community of advanced doctoral and postdoctoral scholars. It has led to invitations allowing emerging scholars to present their work and receive feedback. GRiPs’ ambition is also to encourage a wider European and regional scientific network.
