The Italian-German Historical Institute (ISIG) of the Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) in Trento is an advanced research centre that promotes research in early modern and contemporary history, with particular emphasis on transnational history. The research team includes permanent researchers, collaborators, and fellows. The institute has one of the most comprehensive specialist libraries for transnational history, with particular emphasis on Italian-German connections. The library also holds special collections, including both early modern printed books as well as the personal archives of Giulio Basetti Sani, Hubert Jedin, Serafino Majerotto, and Antonio Zieger. We invite historians whose research would benefit from collaboration with ISIG to apply for a Visiting Fellowship. These fellowships can last between one and six months.

L’Istituto Storico Italo-Germanico della Fondazione Bruno Kessler, fin dalla sua nascita, ha investito nelle collane editoriali, nelle quali sono apparse ricerche originali, frutto delle attività scientifiche dell’Istituto e del lavoro di ricerca di studiose e studiosi esterni che collaborano con il Centro o sono legate/i ad esso da consonanza di temi storiografici e metodi.
