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 Law and
the Department of History and Civilization consider
applications only for the 30 March deadline
- the Department of Political and
Social Sciences normally considers applications only for the 30
September deadline but will exceptionally accept
applications for the deadline 30 March 2014. This deadline is
for applications in the calendar year 2015.
- the Department of Economics considers
applications for the 30 March and the 30 September deadline
