In the spring of 2021, we launched the first edition of the Coalition Publica scholarship program, dedicated to early-career researchers working on scholarly communication and research dissemination systems, or application of new methods of digital humanities.
The submitted projects were evaluated on the basis of the relevance of their research objectives and their originality. Scholarships were awarded in accordance with the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion, and we are pleased to announce the nine winning projects.
