The Vi's most recent core university member, the College of Europe, encourages Vi researchers interested in European studies to apply as visiting scholars. Visiting scholars are typically professors who would like to spend their sabbatical leave at the College of Europe or senior researchers who wish to come to the College of Europe for a period of time with the objective of conducting research for a (post)-doctoral project. The stay at the College can be from one month up to an entire academic year.
The application letter in either English or French should be addressed to the Rector of the College of Europe, who will submit it to the Academic Council for consideration. The application should specify
the motivation, research interest and preferred time of stay and be accompanied by a detailed CV. Each visiting scholar should preferably obtain an affiliation with one of the study programmes at the Bruges Campus, Belgium, or at the Natolin (Warsaw) Campus, Poland.Scholars are responsible for their own travel and subsistence costs; applications are accepted throughout the year.
