Ana Paula Pires was awarded a Visiting Fellowship from the Remarque Institute of the New York University where she will study the humanitarian assistance provided to Angola and Mozambique during World War I, thus deepening the research she has been conducting at the IHC .

On 2018, the IHC researcher Daniele Serapiglia had also received the same scholarship – in his case, to study football in Southern Europe and its relationship with European identity. These IHC researchers will join a list of recipients that includes personalities such as Zeev Sternhell, Gilles Pécout, Sergio Luzzatto, Pierre Rosanvallon, Giulio Sapelli, Donald Sassoon, and Ruth Bem-Ghiat.

The Remarque Institute is a research center that supports and promotes the study and discussion of Europe and its near neighbors, particularly in regards to social and cultural aspects. It was created in 1995, under the direction of the British historian Tony Judt, following a donation of the famous actress Paulette Goddard, widow of the German writer Erich Maria Remarque – thus the name of the institute.
