East European Studies Junior Scholars’ Training Seminar

East European Studies of the Woodrow Wilson Center and the National Council for Eurasian and East European Research are soliciting applications for the annual training seminar for junior scholars in East European studies, to be held during August. All domestic transportation, accommodation and meal costs will be covered by the sponsors.

These scholarships are available to U.S. citizens. While Southeast Europe remains a primary focus, projects on Central Europe and the Baltic states are again eligible. Projects should focus on fields in the social sciences and humanities including, but not limited to: Anthropology, History, Political Science, Slavic Languages and Literatures, and Sociology. All projects should aim to highlight their potential policy relevance.

Successful applicants are expected to submit a five-page paper no later than July 1 on the sources and methodology of their report and the wider significance of their work. (In other words, what was researched, how it was researched, and what it all means.) This paper will serve as the basis for discussion at the seminar.
