Teaching Fellowships in Central/East Europe and Former
Soviet Union for 2002-03

The Civic Education Project (CEP) is now accepting
2002-03 applications for its Visiting Faculty
Fellowship (VFF) Program and Local Faculty Fellowship
(LFF) Program. CEP awards teaching fellowships to
faculty, retired faculty, recent Ph.D.s, and advanced
post-graduate students, in the social sciences, law
and journalism/media studies. CEP Fellows teach at CEP
partner universities located throughout Central and
Eastern Europe, the Former Soviet Union, and Mongolia.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary year in 2001, CEP is
an international organisation facilitating democratic
reform at universities and institutions of higher
learning in post-communist societies. CEP works
through its two fellowship programs, the Visiting
Faculty Fellowship Program, and the Local Faculty
Fellowship Program. CEP Fellows participating in both
programs serve as lecturers at universities throughout
the region.
CEP Visiting Faculty Fellows are academics from
outside of the region who teach and mentor for one
academic year (two semesters) at a college in a CEP
program country.  Visiting Faculty Fellows receive a
stipend, round-trip air travel, accommodation, health
insurance, language lessons, and book allowance.
CEP Local Faculty Fellows are academics from the
region who have a graduate degree from a North
American or West European university. CEP supports
their efforts to stay in academia in their home
country by providing a monthly stipend, teaching
materials, and participation in various CEP events and
activities.
Both Visiting and Local Fellows become part of an
academic network covering all CEP program countries,
from Slovakia to Mongolia. CEP Fellows also work on a
variety of outreach projects outside the classroom.
CEP has programs in 23 countries and supports
approximately 200 Fellows. Eligible disciplines
include international relations, sociology, political
science, law, history, economics, public
administration, environmental policy, and
journalism/media studies.
