1 Presentation of the scheme (summary)

The aim of this call for proposals is to develop an understanding of new models for more appropriate disaster risk management action and improved resilience for populations, with a view to sustainability and respect for their needs and cultural specificities. It invites us to explore the obstacles and prospects of locally-directed action, and to propose ways of reforming contemporary humanitarian response, for example by identifying the principles of ethical, participatory and preventive post-disaster reconstruction, which would take account of social, economic and territorial inequalities as well as local skills.

Applicants are particularly encouraged to address examples of best practice, including those that respond to a more integrated approach including risk reduction, preparedness, prevention and mitigation, the link between emergency action and development, between humanitarian action and social action.

1 Presentation of the scheme (summary)

The aim of this call for proposals is to explore little-studied realities and the emergence of models that will enable us to envisage new approaches to the role and development of national and regional local players in the regions of the world that are recipients of international aid, and more generally to the proponents of humanitarian transition, which prefigures a new paradigm, by understanding the conditions for its realization in different countries. It invites us to explore the obstacles and prospects of an action that is "as local as possible", and to propose new insights for collaborations with an action that is "as international as necessary" in the response to contemporary humanitarian crises.

Applicants are particularly encouraged to address issues relating to the relationship between humanitarian actors and beneficiary populations, particularly in relation to the latter's perception and participation. In addition, this call will support research projects tackling examples of best practice, particularly in terms of community involvement, the link between emergency action and development, and between humanitarian action and social action. As in many sectors going through periods of extreme change, the ethical approach can become a guide to action, as well as an object of study for researchers. This is why we are keen to shed light on the ethical dimension and how it can be applied in the field.

1 Summary presentation of the two schemes

Each year, the international association "La Maison d'Auguste Comte" awards a thesis prize and research grants worth a total of €3,000. Its aim is to encourage young researchers in their work, and to help arouse students' interest in positivism and the philosophical currents associated with it.

The thesis prize is awarded to work that has already been defended before a jury.

The research grant, on the other hand, encourages and promotes a project in progress.

• 1- Auguste Comte and positivism in the 19th and 20th centuries
• 2- The history and philosophy of science in the 19th century
• 3- Politics and the social sciences in the 19th century

This thesis (or PhD) must have been defended within the last five years.

3 Research grants

The Association awards a sum to help fund and encourage research work on, in preferential order, :

• 1- Auguste Comte and positivism in the 19th and 20th centuries

1 Summary of feature

The Roman Rota, the great civil court of the papacy, was one of the essential tools of the transnational governance of the Catholic Church in Europe, from the mid-16th to the end of the 17th century. The aim is to study this institution, which is still poorly understood for this period, and to see how the Rote's jurisprudence contributed to the constitution of a legal culture based on negotiation. Among the various issues considered, the question of the circulation of Rote decisions is an important entry point. After establishing a methodology and the scope of research envisaged during this contract, the person recruited will be required to collect, analyze and standardize archival data on the decisions taken by this pontifical tribunal during the period, as well as to participate in the project's steering committee, and finally to promote his/her research through the project's own channels or by other means.

2 Desired profile (summary)

The candidate holds a PhD in history or legal history (for other specialties, please contact us before applying) - or the thesis must be defended before September 15, 2024.

He/she will be familiar with the problems and tools of book and library history (material bibliography, work on old catalogs, use of current international cataloguing resources).

Fluent in Latin.

English and Italian would be appreciated.
