Max Weber Fellows
The Max Weber Fellows are part of a programme financed by the European Commission. They are post-doctoral researchers spending one or two years at the Institue, a number of whom are affiliated with the Department of Political and Social Sciences.
The programme is based at Villa La Fonte. Fellows may attend seminars and are available for consultation by doctoral researchers working in their fields.
