Fernand Braudel Senior Fellowships 2017, European University Institute, Italy

Publish Date: Feb 11, 2017

About the fellowship

Fernand Braudel Senior Fellowships provide a framework for established academics with an international reputation to pursue their research at the EUI.

Fellowships last for up to ten months in one of the EUI's four Departments which in turn invite fellows to participate in departmental activities (seminars, workshops, colloquia, etc.).

Fellows are encouraged to make contact with researchers sharing their academic interests, may be involved in the teaching and thesis supervision tasks of EUI professors, and associated with one of the research projects being carried out at the EUI.

There are two annual deadlines for applications - 30 March and/or 30 September

  • The Department of Economics considers applications for the 30 March and the 30 September deadline.
  • The Department of Law considers applications only for the 30 March deadline.
  • The Department of History and Civilization considers applications only for the 30 September deadline for fellowships during the following academic year (September to June).
  • The Department of Political and Social Sciences normally considers applications only for the 30 September deadline but will exceptionally accept applications for the 30 March 2017 deadline for fellowships during the calendar year 2018.
