Centre for Advanced Study Sofia

The Centre for Advanced Study Sofia (CAS) is an independent institution that promotes freedom of research, excellence and intellectual creativity in the humanities and social sciences. The Centre attracts young talents and established scholars by offering various types of support such as fellowships and other ways of cooperation between scholars, academic institutions and cultural associations.

​​​​​​Sustaining Ukrainian Scholarship - a fellowship program for 3 years, 2023 - 2026

The application for the SUS fellowship program is open until 31 March.

The SUS programme, proposed jointly by the New Europe College Bucharest and the Centre for Advanced Study Sofia, aims to support scholars from the regions affected by Russia’s war against Ukraine. The programme is aimed at qualified researchers (post-doctoral level) in the Humanities and Social Sciences, including Law and Economics, who intend to pursue a project of their own choosing. The selected applicants will have the opportunity to spend an extended period (ideally one or two semesters) as fellows, resident in either Bucharest or Sofia, where they will enjoy all the benefits associated with a fellowship. By agreement, financial support can also be granted to researchers who are not in residence for the full period and who want or need to continue their work in Ukraine. Seed funding to support the fellows’ scholarly activities is also available, e.g., for the organisation of small events, for cooperative projects with partners in the host country or at home, or for the provision, development or reconstruction of research infrastructure, especially in the digital arena. Overall, NEC and CAS hope to contribute with this programme to sustainability and renewal of scientific life and work in Ukraine and beyond. Through this fellowship programme, both institutes take part in the initiative promoted by the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin and supported by the VolkswagenStiftung aiming to found a (for now Virtual) Institute for Advanced Study (VUIAS) in Kyiv.
