GRANT OPPORTUNITY | Europaeum-El Pomar TransAtlantic Scholarship

The Europaeum-El Pomar TransAtlantic Scholarship

The El Pomar - Europaeum TransAtlantic Junior Fellowship allows a young research scholar to spend up to three weeks at the El Pomar Foundation in Colorado, followed by two weeks in Washington DC. The first Fellowship was awarded in 2007 to Mateo Ballester Rodriguez, now an assistant professor in Politics at the Compultense University, Madrid. He attended seminars, visits and meetings with senior political and defence advisers in Colorado before taking up an internship at the International Foundation for Electoral Systems in Washington, where he wrote in briefing on the Georgian Crisis.

All costs including travel, visas and accommodation will be covered under the scheme. Successful candidates will be invited to submit an occasional, perhaps weekly, blog of their work, thoughts, activities, together with an end of scheme report. They are also expected to use the Fellowship to develop a paper on some aspect linked to the USA visit.
