Visiting Scholars 2024-2025

The Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES) welcomes 22 Visiting Scholars who will be in residence during the 2024-2025 academic year. These scholars represent many social science disciplines and hail from institutions from nine European countries, Israel and the United States.

We invite you to explore their biographies as well as attend the weekly New Research on Europe Seminar where these scholars will present their research.

This year's John F. Kennedy Memorial Fellows are Björn Bremer, Isabel Maria Habicht, and Tobias Wille. The German Kennedy Memorial Fellowship was awarded to Marcin Wroński. The Center's second Ramón Areces Fellowship was granted to Alberto López Ortega. All five scholars will be in residence at CES for the full academic year.
