Four doctoral students from the Centre for History win CHEP excellence scholarships

« The research grant from the Centre for History and Economics in Paris will support my project on the British Levant Company by funding the necessary archival research at the National Archives in London. »

Natalia Lanko

PhD student at CHSP

« I am very honoured to be a recipient of the 2025 scholarship from the Centre for History and Economics in Paris. I see it above all as encouragement for research linking economic history and environmental history, along the lines of the ‘Climate and Capitalism’ reading workshop led by Liane Hewitt, like my investigation into polyethylene, the most common packaging plastic in the second half of the 20th century. This institutional and financial support is therefore a real boon for my scientific project. »

« I am very happy to have been selected for the CHEP excellence scholarship. In addition to being an encouragement in my research, it is a real help in enabling me to carry out research in archives abroad with peace of mind. It is a process that requires time and a significant investment, but one that is also becoming essential for dialogue between historiographies at the international level. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity! »

« I am deeply honored to have been awarded the CHEP Excellence Scholarship, which represents not only a recognition of my efforts but also a significant milestone in my academic journey. This grant reinforces my commitment to advancing studying history, and a boost to pursue my goals with renewed enthusiasm, also a chance to expand my research, and deepen my ideas. The support provided by this grant will help practical assistance to overcome barriers such as travel and resources. I am profoundly grateful to the CHEP for their trust and belief in my potential »
