Are you involved in a parliament-related research project? Do you need access to the knowledge resources of the Austrian Parliament? Would you like to exchange ideas directly with experts from the Parliamentary Administration?
Then submit your idea for the "Research Year in Parliament" which is annually awarded by the Parliamentary Administration. The initiative offers a contract for a scientific research project, in the total amount of EUR 28,500.00 (post-doc-level) or EUR 21,500.00 (prae-doc-level) gross. A particularly innovative and excellent project will be selected by the Scientific Advisory Board (see below).
The "Research Year in Parliament" begins in the autumn of each year. The project is supposed to: (i) use the knowledge resources of the Austrian Parliament ("Digital Bibliography of Parliamentary Research", archive, library, databases, parliamentary materials, etc.) and, thus, contribute to their contextualization and development, (ii) contribute to current scientific debates, and (iii) be relevant for parliamentary processes, the information activities of the Austrian Parliament and the provision of knowledge in and by the Parliamentary Administration. The researcher receives continuous support from experts of the Parliamentary Administration.
