These enable academics, writers and translators to spend between two and three months at selected universities where they can devote themselves to their own work and to interacting with colleagues.
There are ten fellowships. Each is intended to be mutually beneficial. The fellow is expected to contribute to the life of the host institution eg by leading a seminar in which they present their research or writing.
