The purpose of the EUCE Faculty Grant Competition is to develop faculty expertise in the European Union which will lead to eventual publication. For faculty with minimal expertise in the EU, participation at a conference that will begin their study of the EU may be part of a faculty member’s proposal. On-site field work is preferred for more established EU scholars.
Applicants are expected to also secure matching funds from their department or school.
