Europe and Eurasia.

Main fields: CEP fellows are participants in two programs: the
Visiting Lecturer program and the Eastern Scholar program. In the CEP Visiting
Lecturer program a social science academic commits to a year of working at a
university in Eastern Europe or Eurasia. CEP's Eastern Scholar program is a
conscious strategy to reverse "Brain drain" by supporting talented
individuals who return to university positions in their home contries.
Research projects: CEP fellows are engaged in regional research
projects in Central Europe, Southeastern Europe, and the NIS.
Publications: discussion series, conference proceedings and papers
Teaching: Courses in European Studies, Political
Science, International Relations, History, Sociology, Public Administration,
Economics, Law, human rights;
CEP works at partner universities in the region. Many of the courses offered
by CEP Fellows are degree courses.
Co-operations: CEP cooperates with a large number of organizations
active in Eastern Europe and Eurasia, such as the Higher Education Support
Program (Open Society Institute), Carnegie, the Robert Bosch Foundation and many
others.
