FMSH: Post-war Contexts: Rebuilding Societies 2026 (France)

FellowshipsPost-war contexts: Rebuilding societies, Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme (FMSH), Paris, France. Deadline: 14 September 2026.

Launched in 2026, the “Post-war contexts: rebuilding societies” call for proposals explores the transitions between war and peace, when power structures, legitimacy, and political, economic and social relations are reshaped. It analyses these reconfigurations from local to global scales, from specific events to the longue durée, examining structural transformations and the processes through which societies stabilise and build sustainable peace.

Within this framework, the call for proposals seeks to support research focusing on post-war contexts in the 21st century. Particular attention will be paid to projects that stand out for the originality of their approach, their interdisciplinary dimension, and their collaborations with stakeholders from the economic, social, political and media spheres, as well as their capacity to produce and disseminate knowledge to a broad audience.

For this first edition, the call places special emphasis on the construction of “peace from below”, prioritising projects that highlight the role of grassroots movements, as well as cultural, social, media, scientific and economic actors, and diasporas, in post-war contexts and in the reconstruction of the social fabric.

In post-war societies, these actors emerge as key drivers of reconfiguration: they contribute to the expression of social expectations, the definition of public priorities, the circulation of information and the facilitation of public debate, while influencing collective decision-making processes at various levels.

The following areas of inquiry are indicative and non-exhaustive:

  • Forms of civic engagement, dynamics of co-construction with institutions, and the conditions for their effectiveness;
  • The role and transformation of different actors, including international organisations, within these processes;
  • Institutional and democratic reconstruction, particularly in its social, psychological and symbolic dimensions, including initiatives related to the protection or reappropriation of heritage;
  • Information dynamics, collective narratives and processes of narrative construction.

The aim of this call is to identify the concrete mechanisms through which grassroots peace actors can become structuring agents of stabilisation, legitimisation, and social and political transformation in post-war contexts.
