The Institute of Czech Literature (ICL) of the CAS invites foreign researchers specializing in Czech or Central European literature and culture to apply for the Josef Dobrovský Fellowship.

This grant provides the opportunity to work on a specific research project and establish or deepen connections with the ICL. 

Until January 15, 2022, we are accepting applications for stays by scholars next year (starting on April 19, 2022, or later).

Before applying, please contact our deputy director for international cooperation, Michael Wögerbauer (zamini@ucl.cas.cz) to discuss your application.
