Scholarships

In the year 2001, the Stefan Batory Foundation provided young academics with the possibili-ty of seeking grants for half-year study sojoums at foreign research institutions. Thanks to our collaboration with the Open Society Institute's NetWork Scholarship Program and with the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, we have also been able to offer scholarships for study in-ternships at Oxford and Cambridge. Physicians also had the benefit of specialized seminars or-ganized by the Open Society Institute together with the American-Austrian Foundation.

We also assisted researchers from Central and Eastern Europę in their establishment of con-tacts with Polish colleagues. One of the measures taken towards this end comprised the sub-sidizing of the venerable Eastern Scholarships program of the Józef Mianowski Fund -Foundation for the Promotion of Science; every year, some 70 representatives of the humani-ties and social Sciences from across the region arrive in Poland thanks to these grants.

For several years now, we have been supporting the Collegium Invisibile, one of the colleges assembled in the region-wide network for education of exceptionally talented academic youth. We also continued our assistance to the Society for the Support and Promotion of Science and to the Social Democratic Society, institutions which hołd contests for the best master's and doctor's theses.

Throughout 2001, we continued the extension of four-year Ph.D. scholarships for teachers from smali towns. We also awarded another subsidy for a program of foreign trainings for teachers; as of 1996, this initiative, already with a rich tradition to speak for it, is managed and co-financed by the In-Service Teachers Training Center.
