Educational Programs
CCEC educational and scholarship programs provide support and recognition to outstanding academics, and especially to those whose work and ideas will have longer-term impact on Czech-related activities. These programs often target interdisciplinary pursuits, where new perspectives emerge from a broad spectrum of ideas an experiences, thus ensuring the production of knowledge and expertise grounded in a diversity of key topics, cultures, and social awareness. CCEC educational programs are intended to promote the diversification of knowledge and ideas, ensuring that they remain open to (and challenged by) a range of perspectives, backgrounds, and nationalities.
While the pursuit of Czech studies and language is required, CCEC educational programs and opportunities are open to applicants from the social sciences, humanities, arts, the natural sciences - any scholar dedicated to expanding their methods and assumptions by building international and interpersonal networks that helps push their work across borders, be they personal, national or academic. Scholarship recipients benefit from having the opportunity to study with researchers and lecturers in the Czech Republic. It is intended that they gain the opportunity to engage not only academic seniors and peers, but also a range of other producers and users of knowledge and culture. All CCEC educational programs share the goals of supporting innovative knowledge production and of crossing borders in areas of social and cultural importance.
