Call for the Australian European Union Institute Fellowships Association Inc. Fellowships

The Australian European Union Institute Fellowships Association Inc. (AEUIFAI) is now calling for applications for fellowships for the 2025-26 EUI Academic Year.

Applications due 23.55 on Sunday 2 March 2025 (AEST)

For the 2024-25 EUI Academic Year the Fellowships available are:

  • Postgraduate: $8,000 one-off payment (for travel and subsistence) and EUI fees, currently 750 euros for 3 months.
  • Visiting Scholars: $3,000 (for travel and subsistence) and EUI fees, currently 1500 euros for 1 month.

The AEUIFAI was established in 1995 in order to facilitate the presence of Australian researchers at European University Institute at Fiesole, just outside Florence, Italy. The EUI is the high-level research institute founded in 1972 by the European Community Member States to provide advanced academic training to PhD students and to promote research at the highest level. 

Under an Agreement between the AEUIFAI and the EUI, the AEUIFAI offers scholarships, based on merit, to postgraduates, early career researchers and established scholars currently undertaking research in law, history, economics, and social and political sciences who are able to identify a direct benefit for their research from a period of residence at the EUI. The Postgraduate applicants must be at an advanced stage of their research, and the Visiting Scholars must have a permanent or fixed-term appointment at an Australian university.

The AEUIFAI is an independent body receiving support from a number of Australian universities and the Delegation of the European Commission to Australia. Please contact Dr Lachlan McNamee lachlan.mcnamee@monash.edu if you have any queries about the fellowships or application process described on the AEUIFAI website.
