Central European University is pleased to announce its Summer University (SUN) courses for 2004.

SUN offers a series of high-level, research based, intensive, two and three-week courses in the social sciences and humanities. It is aiming to involve a high-level international faculty (including CEU faculty), and excellent advanced doctoral students, junior or post-doctoral researchers, teachers and professionals as participants. The summer courses are designed to provide help to develop and refine participants’ research and policy agenda as well as integrate their teaching with innovative research.

The program encourages topics in newly emerging fields to which participants may not have been previously exposed. Issues addressed by the courses tend to focus on currently relevant ones for emerging democracies, for instance, ethnic relations, migration, nationalism and transnationalism, globalization, human rights, urban development, poverty reduction, local governments, religion and identity, gender, etc.

Participants from Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and countries of emerging democracies world-wide are eligible for financial aid. Applicants must have sufficient English language skills.

Applications must be received by the CEU Summer University Office no later than January 15, 2004. Fee-paying applications can be submitted continuously until May 17, 2004. On-line registration: https://online.ceu.hu/osun
