Each year, the Aleksanteri Institute invites highly qualified foreign scholars studying Russia and Eastern Europe to undertake a 1–3 month research stay at the premises of the institute. The stay is supported with a monthly grant. The visitors have the opportunity to conduct research and interact with other researchers at the Aleksanteri Institute and with the wider academic community at the University of Helsinki and in Finland.

The call for proposals for the 2014–2015 academic year is open from 8 January and until 24 February 2014. The call details will be found on the Aleksanteri Institute website http://www.helsinki.fi/aleksanteri/english/fellowship/how_to_apply.html
