EUROTAST is a new Marie Curie Initial Training Network, which aims at training a new generation of researchers while contributing to a better understanding of the history of the transatlantic slave trade and its legacies today. Funded by the European Union under the Seventh Framework Programme, the network offers 13 ESR (early stage researcher) and 2 ER (experienced researcher) Fellowships to conduct research on various aspects of transatlantic slavery.
The EUROTAST network consists of ten partner institutions across Europe and involves leading researchers from a wide range of disciplines, including history, archaeology, social anthropology and population genetics. By bringing in experts from these various fields, we hope to contribute new data that will add to our knowledge of how the slave trade operated and how it shaped the population history of an entire continent.
