#MyMWPExperience

Hear it from our Max Weber Fellows at the European University Institute

Tamara Popic, Max Weber Fellow, SPS

"In spite of the COVID-19 pandemic and restricted possibilities for academic exchanges, being a Max Weber Fellow in 2020 has helped me to stay grounded in my research and pursue my academic goals."

Tommaso Milani, Max Weber Fellow, HEC

"I believe the programme is wonderfully equipped to make every fellow discover, or rediscover, a fundamental truth: curiosity and passion drive us."

James Lee, Max Weber Fellow, SPS

"The Max Weber lectures and the colloquia organized by the EITW group were particular highlights of the experience [..] I had the opportunity to become part of the European academic community."

Grace Ballor, Max Weber Fellow, HEC

“The MWP provided the ideal institutional environment to transition from a doctoral program to a tenure-track professorship. There is no better place than the EUI's MWP to launch an academic career.”
