Abstract

Le Comité d'histoire de l'électricité et de l'énergie soutient les travaux d'étudiants en sciences humaines sur l’électricité et l'énergie à travers un programme sélectif de soutiens financiers à la recherche dont le montant est compris entre 1500 et 3000 euros. Les sujets acceptés devront porter, au moins partiellement, sur l’histoire de l’électricité, ou plus généralement de l'énergie, en France, en Europe ou ailleurs dans le monde (mais avec une approche croisée ou comparée avec l’Europe dans ce dernier cas). Le versement des sommes est soumis au respect d’une convention d’études signée dès l’obtention du soutien financier.

Presentation

Since 2001, the Committee for the History of Electricity has three objectives focused on the history of electricity: to conduct or foster scientific research, to study and promote tangible and intangible heritage, and to share and impart knowledge.

In 2013, the Committee widened its scope to become the Committee for the History of Electricity and Energy.

The Committee for the History of Electricity and Energy offers grants varying from 1,500 to 3,000 euros to graduate students.

Applications can be written in French or English.

Selection criteria

Selection will be based on the following criteria: originality of the subject, preparation and quality of presentation of the project. The project must deal, at least partly, with the history of electricity or energy in France, Europe or elsewhere in the world (but with a comparative approach with Europe in this case).

Payment of the grant will be conditional upon signature of an agreement. The thesis or dissertation may be written in the language chosen by the student. However, a summary in French or English must be submitted to the Committee for the History of Electricity and Energy for theses or dissertations written in any other language.
