This visiting fellowship is intended to provide support, primarily but nor exclusively, to scholars in the early stages of their career, namely doctoral candidates and post-docs whose work and research focuses on the topics related to the history and international affairs of Bulgaria and the Balkans in the Twentieth Century and beyond.
