Media Studies Grant
Since 2014, the Media Studies Commission has been actively commissioning research into FIAT/IFTA members’ archive collections and research into issues relevant to the FIAT/IFTA archive communities.
The Media Studies Grant is aimed primarily at enhancing collaboration between research and archive communities and ensuring the valorization of academic knowledge for archival practice. The grant is open to MA and doctoral students and junior and senior researchers. This funding scheme has been given priority to projects that research topics relevant to an archive institution’s history, transnational media history, or archival practice.
Research carried out through the Media Studies Grant is made available to the FIAT/IFTA archive community through conference presentations and research reports. Previous research reports from the Media Studies Grant are accessible through open access on the FIAT/IFTA website. A new Media Studies Grant Call for Papers is issued at the start of each calendar year.
