Seed Grant Competition
The Cornell Institute for European Studies is announcing a new Director’s Initiative designed to support research and teaching in European Studies at Cornell and to establish and deepen Cornell’s links with European universities. The CIES Seed Grant Competition is designed to assist Cornell's tenure-track faculty working on topics related to Europe or who collaborate with European colleagues. Seed grants are funded by a generous grant from the San Giacomo Foundation to the Director of CIES. All Cornell tenure-track faculty members are eligible and encouraged to apply, irrespective of their disciplinary background, college, or school of origin.
