2007-2008 EUROPA FELLOWSHIPS PROGRAM

The New Europe College - Institute for Advanced Study in Bucharest,
Romania -, announces the EUROPA FELLOWSHIPS PROGRAM, supported by the
VolkswagenStiftung (Hanover, Germany).

The program targets researchers and academics from South-Eastern Europe
(including Romania), as well as young Western scholars working on
South-Eastern Europe. Applicants must be doctoral students, or hold a Ph.D.
title.

Duration of the Fellowship: a) a full academic year (10 months, October
through July) or b) a one-term fellowship (October through February, or
March through July).

Location: the New Europe College in Bucharest, Romania.

The Fellowship consists of a monthly stipend of 600 Euro (tax free),
accommodation, international transportation to and from the home country of
the Fellows at the beginning and the end of the Fellowship, as well as for
season holidays. The Fellows who stay for the whole academic year are
offered a one-month research trip abroad to an institution of their choice
(2,560 Euro for transportation, accommodation, and per diem).

The Fellows will be invited to work as members of a team in the framework of
a general research topic entitled Traditions of the New Europe. A
Pre-history of the European Integration in South-Eastern Europe. This year's
theme-within the general research topic-is focusing on the issue of
Inhabiting.
Each Fellow will contribute with his/her own research, and will take part in
scientific events organized by the New Europe College. At the end of their
Fellowship, each Fellow is expected to hand in the research paper comprising
the results of his/her work over the duration of the Fellowship. The papers
will be included in a NEC publication.

Working languages: English, French, and German. A good command of English is
