B) BERLIN PROGRAM FOR ADVANCED GERMAN AND EUROPEAN STUDIES

The Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies, established in 1986 at the Freie Universitaet Berlin and in the United States at the Social Science Research Council, promotes a new generation of young North American scholars with specialized knowledge of modern and contemporary German and European affairs. The Program supports anthropologists, economists, political scientists, sociologists, and all scholars in germane social science and cultural studies fields, including historians working on the period since the mid-19th century. Fellowships are awarded for doctoral dissertation field research as well as postdoctoral research leading to completion of a monograph. The Program offers a stimulating academic environment that integrates research opportunities with intellectual and cultural interaction. An essential part of the Program is the bi-weekly seminar, conducted in German, which brings together the North American fellows and leading German scholars. Fellows have access to Berlin's broader intellectual community and extensive libraries. For complete information and to download an application, go to http://www.ssrc.org/fellowships/berlin/ or contact berlin@ssrc.org. The deadline is December 1, 2003.

C) OPEN ACCESS LINKS

As you know, FQS signed the Budapest Open Access Initiative. Currently, significant effort takes place to bring this initiative--which originated in the sciences--also to the humanities. So today we like to provide some links to in-depth information:
