The International Network in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies (INREES) invites currently enrolled postgraduate students affiliated with a Finnish university to apply for a 2-month visiting fellowship at the University of Bremen, the University of Glasgow, the University of Södertörn or the University of Tartu in fall 2023.
The INREES programme gives an opportunity for four young Finnish early-stage researchers to have a two-month research visit. The multidisciplinary INREES programme provides the visiting fellows a unique opportunity to gather material, write their on-going research projects and produce new scholarly outputs. These fellowships may also launch new scholarly ventures and research projects in collaboration with partners and colleagues from our partner universities.
Funding period: January – December 2023
Deadline for applications: 30 November 2022
Notification of acceptance: 20 December 2022
Application documents:

3. CV
Successful applicants will be provided with a monthly scholarship of €2,400 (travel and accommodation are covered from the scholarship) Travel, accommodation and health insurance coverage are to be arranged by prospective fellows themselves, but the programme can provide help with these.
