Bronisław Geremek Fellowship

The Bronisław Geremek Fellowship program aimed to foster the study and reflection of the Polish national heritage in the context of European tradition. The fellowships enabled Polish senior and junior researchers to work on a research project of their choice and to become members of the international, multidisciplinary community of scholars at the IWM. They were open to all academic disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. Bronisław Geremek Fellows were invited to spend the academic year (ten months from September to June) at the IWM to pursue their research projects while working in residence.

The Bronisław Geremek Fellowship was financed by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage in cooperation with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute


Presented below is a selection of fellowships. As this is a past program we are working through our archives to ensure that fellows and fellowships are represented accurately. If you were a fellow under this program, please do get in touch with us.
