[Commlist] Fellowship Opportunity 2019 / Charlemagne Prize Foundation

The Charlemagne Prize Foundation (/Stiftung Internationaler Karlspreis 
zu Aachen/) is currently establishing a Charlemagne Prize Academy, which 
is supposed to present a new opportunity for university graduates and 
early-stage researchers to expand their own network, to implement 
individual research projects and to publish innovative thoughts.

In course of that, we would like to announce its *new Fellowship 
Programme*, which aims to support innovative research ideas in the 
context of _‘*Europe’s Responsibilities in Global Progress’* 
<https://www.charlemagneprizeacademy.com/en/fellowship-programme/our-focus-2019>_. 
The programme is aimed at graduates, as well as at staff of scientific 
or political institutions and young professionals up to the age of 35, 
who wish to conduct a one-year research project with European relevance, 
independent of subject, political agenda or citizenship. The support 
refers to an annual grant of 25,000 €, as well as academic mentoring and 
regular networking events. The research can be carried out in 
cooperation with an institution, but also without institutional 
commitment at a preferred location.

The aim of the fellowship is to promote the topics of young talents and 
to create a platform for a common exchange with European and 
international decision-makers. Therefore, the Fellowship is connected 
with a prospective Summit and is linked to the main activities of the 
Charlemagne Prize Foundation through the patronage of previous 
Charlemagne Prize Laureates.

The application portal will be open until Sunday, 22 September 2019. 
Applicants will be informed about the selection outcome by the end of 
October, right after 5 candidates have been selected by an independent 
committee. The Fellowship will start with the Kick-Off Summit of the 
Charlemagne Prize Academy in November and will finish with the 
presentation of the research outcomes during a similar event the 
following year, also including a joint publication. All further 
information can be found *_here.

Though the application period is very short this year, we are looking 
forward to receive innovative and interesting research proposals, 
including a brief definition of the proposed research question and three 
possible milestones that could be reached during the year.

/The International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen has been awarded to 
individuals and institutions that have made a valuable contribution to 
Europe since 1950 and is the oldest and most renowned prize awarded for 
work done in the service of European unification. As its latest project, 
the Charlemagne Prize Academy is part of a distinctive development of 
the International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen with the goal to promote 
exchange concerning political issues and to provide information about 
the existing data with the intention to connect new findings with the 
concerns of our time./
