Claudio Leonardi Fellowship

The Claudio Leonardi Fellowship of the Zeno Karl Schindler Foundation for Medieval Latin Studies has been established to support scholarship in Medieval Latin Studies, with a particular focus on research by young scholars. The fellowship was created in honor of Claudio Leonardi (1926-2010), founder and first President of the Società Internazionale per lo Studio del Medioevo Latino (S.I.S.M.E.L., Florence). The fellowship allows one doctoral or early-postdoctoral candidate to spend a period of three to six months abroad pursuing research in their chosen field with a monthly stipend of 2,500 Swiss francs. The period of stay abroad must be completed by the end of the year following the year in which the application was submitted. In addition, the recipient may make use of an additional subsidy of 3,000 Swiss francs toward the cost of publication of their doctoral thesis or postdoctoral research, on condition that the printed publication acknowledges the foundation support. The request for this additional subsidy must be made at latest three years after the date of the deposit of the thesis or research work.
