The program targets especially researchers and academics from South-Eastern

(2 560 Euro for transportation, accommodation, and per diem).
The Fellows will be invited as members of a team, working in the framework
of a research theme entitled "Traditions of the New Europe:
A Pre-history of the European Integration in South-Eastern Europe."
Each Fellow is expected to pursue his/her own research project, and to take
