The fellows will receive a stipend and travel funds directly from the Finnish foundations for a research period of 6 months in residence at the Wilson Center.
The University of Helsinki, a number of Finnish foundations, and the Wilson Center worked jointly to select a group of 7 highly qualified candidates out of 126 applications. The seven scholarship recipients will be able to spend a 2-6-month research period during 2014 or 2015 at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington D.C.
Information regarding the application guidelines and selection criteria for the next scholarship cycle can be found on the following website: www.wilsoncenter-haku.fi.

Global Europe Program
The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe” – an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
