Workshop: ‘Gaining External Funding for Research in Medieval and Early Modern Studies’, 23 June 2026, London, 2-5pm (BST)

CCLS, Queen Mary, University of London, 67-69 Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London WC2A 3JB, Room 3.1 

Learn how to score funding for your medieval and early modern research.

This workshop is for anyone from pre-doctoral to senior level in any discipline who is contemplating applying for external funding for premodern research from the major bodies or who has been successful with one of these funders and is looking for further opportunities with the same or other funders. What makes a medieval or early modern research project successful with different funders such as the AHRC/ UKRI, the ERC, the Leverhulme? Are there differences and similarities in what these funders are looking for, and in their track records in funding premodern research? What are the different requirements for public engagement and impact, and how can premodern projects best address them?

The workshop will be comprised of discussions of each of the major funders in turn, featuring successful applicants for everything from doctoral to large grant funding, followed by a final discussion to tease out their different mindsets and emphases when it comes to their evaluation of premodern research ideas. 

It is organised by the London Forum for Premodern Studies, an informal association of the medieval and early modern research centers of Queen Mary University of London (CREMS), University College London (Centre for Early Modern Exchanges), King’s College London (Centre for Early Modern Studies), and The Warburg Institute.
