From 2023 until 2027, ACLS and CAS will convene leading scholars from Eastern Europe and North America for a two-week residency, hosted by the American University in Bulgaria (AUBG), in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">With international travel restricted over the past two years due to the pandemic, many scholars have been forced to delay their research. SISECSE will provide participating scholars with two weeks to dedicate to their own research and writing in a collaborative and interdisciplinary setting. Participants will also be able to undertake local fieldwork, including archival research, work in museum collections, interviews, site surveys, or other forms of data collection. In addition to conducting their own research, scholars will also have the opportunity to participate in small group writing workshops, as well as a series of immersive discussions on a broad topic of shared academic interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">The program will cover travel, accommodation, and per diem expenses. Institute members will be expected to be in residence and to participate in all planned events for the duration of the institute. Scholars will also be provided with opportunities to travel locally during this time. Scholars should apply with their own research proposals through the ACLS online system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-eligibility\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Eligibility<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">The competition will be open to scholars in any field or discipline in the humanities and interpretive social sciences pursuing postdoctoral or advanced research in the region (Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czechia, Croatia, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Scholars should be based at institutions in North America (US, Canada, Mexico) or Central\/Eastern Europe (see the list above).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Details<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">The program will cover travel, accommodation, and per diem expenses for the two-week residential institute.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Institute members will be expected to be in residence and to participate in all planned events for the duration of the institute.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Scholars will also be provided with opportunities to travel locally during this time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Scholars should apply with their own research proposals through the ACLS online system.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Information on how to apply to the Summer Institute is available on the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acls.org\/competitions\/summer-institute-east-central-southeastern-europe\/\">competition page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>About ACLS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Formed a century ago, the<\/span> <b><a href=\"https:\/\/nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Facls.us9.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D308a35b2c3e34e9b41bea422d%26id%3D88594e8934%26e%3D56a9a3a4d6&amp;data=05%7C01%7Cawaggy%40ACLS.org%7Cf474ef6754644dbcf46108daab950ff8%7Cfbff920d18ac4055b05d58e5b7db5c4f%7C0%7C0%7C638010953964300191%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=kdDywxYpMwkn%2F5bCJRoN9zng8DAAgURjH%2FYyHXQmtmg%3D&amp;reserved=0\"><strong>American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS)<\/strong><\/a><\/b> <span style=\"color: #333333;\">is a nonprofit federation of 79 scholarly organizations.
