The program targets young international researchers/academics working in the
fields of humanities, social studies, and economics.

*Eligibility: *Applicants must be doctoral students in an advanced stage of
their research, or hold a Ph.D. title. Preference is given to candidates
under the age of 40, and to those who have not yet benefited from a NEC
Fellowship. Working languages: English, French, and German. A good command
of English is desirable.

*Duration of the Fellowship*: a) a full academic year (10 months, October
through July) or b) a one-term fellowship (October through February, or
March through July). This second possibility is open only to international
fellows.

*Location:* New Europe College – Institute for Advanced Study, Bucharest,
Romania.

*The Fellowship consists of*: a monthly stipend of 600 Euro (tax free),
accommodation, international transportation to and from the home country of
the Fellows at the beginning and the end of the Fellowship, as well as for

offered a one-month research trip abroad to an institution of their choice
(2,600 Euro for transportation, accommodation, and *per diem*). As an
alternative, they can opt for a field research, in Romania or outside it.

The Fellows are expected to work on their own projects, and take part in the
