Fulbright Bulgaria-Greece Joint Research Award

This joint award is provided by the Bulgarian and Greek Fulbright Commissions and allows students to engage in comparative trans-regional research and/or study. Up to one award per academic year is open to candidates at all degree levels. While applications from Master and Ph.D. candidates are preferred, well-researched projects by recent college/university graduates will also be accepted. The award is for nine months, with a four-month term in Greece and a five-month term in Bulgaria. Applicants may select which country to visit first, depending on the needs of their project. Applications will be considered in all fields, with special emphasis on archaeology, history and art history (Antique, Byzantine, Ottoman and contemporary), Balkan studies, trans-border/emigration studies, environment, economics, tourism (including eco- and agro-tourism), preservation of cultural heritage, political science, social sciences, classical studies, and the arts. Candidates at all degree levels are accepted, but preference is given to Master's and Ph.D. candidates. Ability to conduct independent, unstructured research with minimal oversight is crucial.
