The EU Fellowships Program offers professional and personal development opportunities to a small number of staff from the EU Commission or Parliament. On average, 8 Commission or Parliament staff members per year are nominated as EU Fellows and one or two per year are appointed as visiting scholars at IES. During the fellowship, they carry out research on their proposed project as well as undertake outreach work, thus acting as "ambassadors" for the EU.
