Every year, the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies hosts a number of Visiting Scholars from the United States, Europe and other parts of the globe.
Visiting Scholars Program
CES Visiting Scholars 2017-2018 (see profiles)
CES is not only a vibrant and friendly forum of top-notch scholars from around the world, who are advancing the study of Europe - it is "un esprit", a shared feeling of being at the right place, at the right time. Most of all, it has allowed me to raise the quality of my own research, while also markedly accelerating it!
Stella Ghervas, Visiting Scholar, 2013-2015
Visiting Scholars are chosen from a pool of applications from post-doctoral social scientists and historians who are working on modern Europe. They continue their research on the Harvard campus while engaging with CES faculty, graduate and undergraduate students and participating in study groups, seminars, and conferences.
Visiting Scholars take part in a weekly Brown-Bag Lunch Seminar that allows them to present work in progress and receive feedback from colleagues.

Visiting Scholars are admitted on a competitive basis for a period of at least three months (two of which must be during the academic year) and up to one year in residence at the Center. Except for the John F. Kennedy Fellows,
CES does not provide funding for Visiting Scholars; they are expected to have their own source of funding such as sabbatical salary, personal funds, grants from their home governments, or other private organizations.
