#MyMWPExperience

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

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.”

Vittoria Comacchi, Max Weber Fellow, HEC

"Workshops, book roundtables, writing groups, and inspiring formal and informal conversations with fellows and faculty have broadened my research perspectives and interests."
