CALL FOR APPLICATIONS- Central European University, Summer University 2004

Announcement of the 2004 Summer University courses at Central European 
University, Budapest, Hungary

Summer University
Hungary 2004

A Program for University Teachers, Advanced Ph.D. Students, Researchers and 
Professionals in the Social Sciences and Humanities
July 5-30, 2004

The Summer University was established in 1996 primarily as a vehicle for 
helping young faculty, researchers and professionals in the countries of 
Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union by promoting academic 
cooperation and curriculum development in the social sciences and humanities.

In 2003 the program has changed its original mission in an effort to become 
an internationally known and respected venue for cutting-edge research in a 
broad array of disciplines. It is aiming to involve a high-level 
international faculty (including CEU faculty), and excellent advanced 
doctoral students, junior or post-doctoral researchers, teachers and 
professionals as participants. While application from all over the world is 
encouraged, continued priority is given to applicants from Central and 
Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and countries experiencing emerging 
democracies worldwide. Applicants from these countries, when admitted on 
merit, will be eligible for scholarship, while those from developed 
countries will usually be expected to pay fees. 
Eligibility

Applications are invited from all countries on a scholarship or a fee paying 
basis.

Minimum requirement for application is a university degree. Undergraduates 
without a university degree will not be considered. The program encourages 
applications from advanced Ph.D. students, postdoctoral fellows, junior 
faculty, researchers and professionals.

The language of instruction is English; thus all applicants have to 
demonstrate a strong command of spoken and written English to be able to 
participate actively in discussions at seminars and workshops.
