Join students and staff from the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia and affiliated units (CES, CREES, ISP, and WCED) to learn about fellowship support for summer research and internships. The session will include brief presentations from 2015 summer research and internship grantees, followed by an overview from staff on WCEE fellowship opportunities. We will also answer questions about requirements, how to apply, and what kinds of projects have been funded in the past. Visit ii.umich.edu/wcee for more information about WCEE Summer Funding.
