  • NFDI4Memory FAIR Data Fellowships 2026 support the preparation of research data from projects in historical disciplines for reuse. Each FAIR Data Fellowship is endowed with €1,500 and has a duration of one month. During this time, the fellows independently process a dataset from their own project. They will receive practical support and guidance from experts in research data management from one of the five implementing institutions. At the end of the fellowship, a structured and publishable dataset should be available. Fellows will share their experiences with the historical community, e.g. in the form of blog posts. Application deadline: 19 November 2025.
