Collegium Budapest Junior Fellowships 2001/2002

In 1992 Collegium Budapest/Institute for Advanced Study was founded in order to support and strengthen academic life in Central and Eastern Europe. Each year, the Collegium invites up to 20 scholars from Europe and beyond either for an entire academic year or for one semester. In addition, the Collegium plans to invite several outstanding younger scholars to conduct the research of their choice within this academic environment.
The aims of the Collegium are to encourage research in emerging disciplines and new problem areas, to bring together researchers from different research traditions and cultures, and to promote work on old and new scholarly problems. Special emphasis will be put on problem areas connected with the cultural, socio-political, and economic transformation that the Central and East European countries are presently under--going, and on emerging scholarly fields still underrepresented in this region or fields in which the region is making a unique contribution.
To achieve this, the Collegium is offering, for the Academic Year 2001/2002 (1 October to 31 July), ten residential Junior Fellowships lasting five months to younger scholars and researchers (mainly from Central and Eastern Europe) from any academic field.
