Enssib invites foreign researchers each year to come to enjoy the institution's research environment and collaborate with local researchers (Learn more about enssib researchers)
Invited fellows participate in conferences and courses that enhance the internationalization of research in the history of the book, as well as in information and library sciences within the School.
An open call for all foreign researchers, ranging from doctoral students to established scholars, is made annually and followed by an internal selection process.
The invited researcher programme covers transport and accommodation for approximately one week at Enssib during the calendar year following the invitation.
The program aims to foster the establishment of specific partnerships and strengthen collaborations by facilitating exchanges between peers around identified research projects that align with the strategic directions of the Research Department and the various research laboratories of the School’s faculty members, including the Gabriel Naudé Center and ELICO.
The fellows' stay should coincide with the institution's teaching periods.
