Each
year, CEU IAS selects for this program some 15 fellows from an average of over
600 applicants. Fellows are chosen by a rigorous selection process, which
includes stages of pre-selection and peer reviews as well as a final decision
made by an independent, interdisciplinary and international Selection
Committee. The Institute is committed to the pursuit of cutting edge
interdisciplinary scholarship and will seek innovative research proposals.
Young scholars with demonstrable promise of excellence will be considered;
established senior scholars are expected to have solid records of first rate
scholarship. A primary criterion for selection is the expectation that each
fellow’s stay at the Institute will yield original and significant research
results.
