RECAS 2025 Fellowship Program

The Regional Fellowship encourages researchers to conduct and present their work across key university centers in Southeast Europe, deepening regional exchange and cooperation. Fellows will receive host support at the Universities of Rijeka and Belgrade, and may select co-hosts among partner universities in Skopje, Sarajevo, Ljubljana, Prishtina, Tirana, or Podgorica. This allows researchers to develop comparative perspectives, build networks, and contribute to regionally grounded, globally relevant scholarship. 

Each fellow will spend up to six months working on a research project related to this year’s fellowship theme. During their stay, they will engage with local scholarly communities, conduct fieldwork, test methods, and link their findings to concrete societal challenges. The program is especially suited to action-oriented scholars aiming to co-create knowledge, address democratic deficits, or propose viable alternatives for the future of the region.
