framework for established academics with an international reputation to pursue
their research at the EUI.

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.

of Law and the Department of History and Civilization consider
