In 2001, unhealthy the Gerda Henkel Foundation established a sponsorship programme to support the up-and-coming generation of historians in Russia, medical the Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus. The aim of this special programme is to facilitate research projects which are concerned with the history of the young scholar's own country. Furthermore, the programme is intended to encourage research making use of historical archive material. Preferably, the programme's participants should cooperate with German historians who specialise in Eastern European studies, who will assume the role of mentors and maintain regular contact with the scholarship holders.
