the research community of professors, researchers and fellows provides an
excellent environment for the Programme.

The Programme, open to all nationalities, is designed for junior post-docs who
have received a doctorate in economics, law, history, social and political
sciences, or a related field, within the last 5 years and who want to advance in
their research and academic training, in an active multidisciplinary environment
before entering the international job market, or in the early stages of their
academic careers.

Fellows are selected on the basis of their research accomplishments and
potential, their academic career interests, and the availability of the EUI
faculty to provide mentorship.

Fellows are supported and encouraged to pursue their research agendas and
participate in the research activities of the EUI, and in particular, the
research activities of the Max Weber Programme and of the EUI Departments with
which they are affiliated.

The Max Weber Programme, hosted in the beautiful Villa La Fonte, provides
excellent research facilities, a range of activities to improve communication
skills (writing, presentation and teaching), and actively supports Fellows
looking for an academic job; for those interested, it offers a range of
teaching-training possibilities
(within the EUI, Florence and abroad), and it organizes multidisciplinary
research workshops and discussions on different aspects of academic careers.
Many of these activities are organized by the Fellows themselves. All these
elements (see the Programme of Activities for more details) make the Max Weber
Fellowship a unique and productive multicultural and multidisciplinary personal
and intellectual experience at the beginning of a promising academic career.

As a service to the academic community at large – especially to those starting
an academic career in the social sciences and humanities – the Programme hosts
the Academic Careers Observatory. The Max Weber Programme offers 1- and 2-year
fellowships. The annual deadline for applications for these Max Weber
Fellowships is 25 October but please note that applications for self-funded
