B) BERLIN PROGRAM FOR ADVANCED GERMAN AND EUROPEAN STUDIES
The Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies, established
in 1986 at the Freie Universitaet Berlin and in the United States at the
Social Science Research Council, promotes a new generation of young
North American scholars with specialized knowledge of modern and
contemporary German and European affairs. The Program supports
anthropologists, economists, political scientists, sociologists, and all
scholars in germane social science and cultural studies fields,
including historians working on the period since the mid-19th century.
Fellowships are awarded for doctoral dissertation field research as well
as postdoctoral research leading to completion of a monograph. The
Program offers a stimulating academic environment that integrates
research opportunities with intellectual and cultural interaction. An
essential part of the Program is the bi-weekly seminar, conducted in
German, which brings together the North American fellows and leading
German scholars. Fellows have access to Berlin's broader intellectual
community and extensive libraries. For complete information and to
download an application, go to http://www.ssrc.org/fellowships/berlin/
or contact berlin@ssrc.org. The deadline is December 1, 2003.
C) OPEN ACCESS LINKS:
As you know, FQS signed the Budapest Open Access Initiative. Currently,
significant effort takes place to bring this initiative--which
originated in the sciences--also to the humanities. So today we like to
provide some links to in-depth information:
