Max Weber Network Eastern Europe (MWNO) Fee Waiver Scheme for Ukraine, Georgia, for Armenia scholars and postgraduate research students

The BASEES Organising Committee is pleased to announce that a limited number of fee waivers are available for the upcoming conference. These grants are sponsored by the Max Weber Network Eastern Europe (MWNO).

They are intended to support scholars and postgraduate research students who permanently reside in Ukraine, Georgia, or Armenia. Ukrainian scholars who have been displaced as a result of Russia’s war against Ukraine are also eligible to apply.

Applicants must be scheduled to deliver a paper in a standard panel session. Please note that individuals participating solely as panel chairs, discussants, or roundtable participants are not eligible for these grants.

Applications will be assessed based on the intellectual quality of the paper proposal, with additional consideration given to maintaining a balance across academic disciplines and regional representation.

Please note that the deadline for the application is Thursday, 30 November 2026. Applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application no later than 31 December 2026.

The Max Weber Network Eastern Europe (MWNO) also offers mobility funding to support participation in conferences, workshops, and colloquia. Participants are encouraged to apply when the next call for applications is announced.
