CARMEN will provide the Early Stage Researchers with a unique portfolio of competences, ranging from editorial management, digital humanities, gender studies and archaeology over manuscript studies to transcultural competences, supplemented by a well-balanced training in transferable skills. The international cooperation between universities, research institutions, cultural institutions and a publishing house will enable the ESRs to pursue research in a high-profile academic context in close contact with non-academic potential fields of employment.

Internships

The intercultural and intersectoral 2 months internships in Berlin, Bordeaux, Heidelberg, Leiden and London are designed especially for our ESRs and closely linked to their individual projects. They will provide further training in different skills and expose the ESRs to employ­ment situations in the academic and non-academic realm.
