IES Graduate Fellowships

The Institute of European Studies (IES) is home to the leading concentration of teachers and researchers on Europe in the western United States. As UC Berkeley's focal point for the study of Europe, IES unites disciplines and creates new understandings of issues related to Europe and its constituent nations.

The Institute houses the Center for German Studies (CGES), France-Berkeley Fund (FBF), Portuguese Studies Program (PSP), and the National Resource Center for Western European Studies (NRCWES). Programs focused on the study of France, Spain, Italy, and Finland round out the Institute's offerings. Together, our centers and programs have contributd to Berkeley's reputation as one of the finest research and instructional institutions in the world.

IES offers pre-dissertation support to graduate students who have advanced to candidacy and are ready to write a dissertation proposal on a European topic. Recipients of these funds may apply them to travel expenses related to a pre-dissertation trip to Europe. This preliminary trip allows students to lay the groundwork for later field or archival research. During their two- to three-month stay, students develop a network of contacts, explore potential host institution arrangements, and look into various European research programs. Students emerge from these trips more focused and confident about writing their dissertation proposals.

We need your support to keep these programs alive. Your generous donation will ensure that IES graduate students, both current and future, will have all the resources they need at their disposal.
