This project combines the strengths of a number of different Institutions and research traditions within European Anthropology in order to contribute to and enable a process of institutionalizing Anthropological research and teaching in central and east Europe. It will do so by providing, alongside doctoral training for two cohorts of PhD Doctoral Fellows (DFs), forty short term, inter-Laboratory visitors (ILVs). These will be researchers doing PhDs in other institutions in Europe and beyond who have a research commitment to our target region. All fellows will be selected by open competition.
