CEES Funding Opportunities for UCLA Faculty

Funding

The Center for European and Eurasian Studies supports UCLA faculty and graduate student research through workshops, conferences, conference travel, speaker series, visiting scholars programs, and through dissertation research and language study grants. Priority is given to projects that focus on the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, new initiatives, and annual events in their first three years. However, all projects of serious academic merit that focus on Europe or Eurasia will be considered. Project descriptions must demonstrate how the project will advance our knowledge of European or Eurasian history, society, and/or culture.
