Fundatia Noua Europa – New Europe College (NEC) - ROMANIA

? NEC Fellowships
Each year, ten NEC Fellowships for outstanding young Romanian scholars in humanities and social sciences are publicly announced. Fellows are chosen by an international Academic Advisory Board, and receive a monthly stipend for the duration of one academic year (October through July). The Fellows gather for weekly seminars to discuss their research projects. In the course of the year, the Fellows are given the opportunity to pursue their research for one month abroad, at a university or research institution of their choice. At the end of the grant period, the Fellows submit a paper representing the results of their research. These papers are published in the New Europe College Yearbook.
RELINK Grants
The RELINK Program targets highly qualified, preferably young Romanian scholars returning from studies abroad to work in one of Romania’s universities or research institutes. Ten RELINK Fellows are selected each year through an open competition; in order to facilitate their reintegration in the local research milieu and to improve their working conditions, a modest support lasting for three years is offered, consisting of: a monthly stipend, funds in order to acquire scholarly literature; an annual allowance enabling the recipients to make a one-month research trip to a foreign institute of their choice in order to sustain existing scholarly contacts and forge new ones; the use of a laptop computer and printer.
? The GE-NEC Program
Starting with the academic year 2000-2001 the New Europe College is for three consecutive academic years the organizer and host of a program supported by the Getty Grant Program. This program aims at strengthening research and education in visual culture by inviting leading specialists to give lectures and hold seminars at the New Europe College for the benefit of MA students, Ph.D. candidates and young scholars from these and related disciplines. The program includes two senior and two junior fellowships per year, selected in consultation with the Academic Advisory Board. The recipients of these fellowships are integrated in the life of the College, receive a monthly stipend, and are given the opportunity of spending one month abroad for a study trip.
? The Regional Program
In autumn 2001 the New Europe College will expand its fellowship programs to include scholars from South-Eastern Europe (Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Macedonia, the Republic of Moldova, Slovenia, Turkey, and Yugoslavia). This regional dimension of our academic activities aims at integrating in the international academic network scholars from a region whose scientific resources are as yet insufficiently known, and to stimulate and strengthen the intellectual dialogue between the countries from this region. With the prospect of the European integration in view, and in thus complementing the efforts of the European community to implement the Stability Pact, we invite these countries to cooperate, and to overcome the tensions that have won our region its unfortunate fame over the last decade.
