Visiting Scholars

Each year, CGES receives many requests from scholars who seek affiliation with CGES while undertaking their research in the nation’s capital. We have also forged a partnership for faculty to visit Georgetown University through the European Commission’s Marie Curie Exchange Program, and through the Open Society Institute of the George Soros Foundation. In the upcoming academic year, we look forward to providing more opportunities for scholars to deepen their research by sponsoring two DAAD visiting research positions.

If you are interested in being appointed as a Visiting Researcher at the BMW Center, please contact our Assistant Director Christina Ruby. More information about the program can be found here.
