To mark its centenary celebrations (2019), the Board of the Union Académique Internationale has launched the Early Career Researchers Awards (ECRA) to reward early-career researchers working in the humanities and social sciences.

Worth 6,000 euros (€) each, the Early Career Researchers Awards are awarded every two years following a call for applications and an evaluation process.

The awards are not intended to fund major research projects or to cover publication costs. They are only intended as grants to cover the cost of individual research such as visits to key libraries, participation in fieldwork and attendance at academic conferences.
