European Union Graduate Grants

The European Union Center of Excellence at the University of Washington fosters the development of new academic talent by providing research grants to UW graduate students working on EU topics. This year the center will provide several UW graduate students travel and research grants up to a maximum of $3,000 to conduct EU-related research in Europe in the spring and summer of 2009. Applications are welcome from UW graduate students in at all levels of research, as long as the research proposal focuses on issues related to the European Union. Funding for the graduate research grants is made possible by the new EU Center of Excellence grant from the European Commission.

Applicants for EU Center of Excellence graduate research grants should send a brief (3-5 page) research proposal, a budget, a curriculum vitae, and two letters of recommendation from faculty. Applications must be received at the center in 120 Thomson Hall no later than February 6, 2009 in order to receive full consideration. For further information, contact the EU Center at euc@u.washington.edu or 206-616-2415.
