The Fondation pour la mémoire de l'esclavage awards an annual prize for a thesis. This prize, with a total endowment of €7,000, rewards an innovative French-language doctoral thesis that contributes to a better understanding of the human slave trade, slavery systems, abolition processes and the establishment of post-slavery societies from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean, from the end of the 15th century to their contemporary consequences.
Theses from different disciplines, written in French, completed and defended or accepted between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021, whether in a French or foreign university, can apply for the prize provided that they meet all the conditions: thesis written entirely in French, subject corresponding to the criteria, respect of the dates of defense, complete file sent in time to the Foundation for the Memory of Slavery.
