FELLOWSHIPS
CAARI offers an active fellowship program. Fellowship opportunities include CAARI-sponsored fellowships as well as several fellowships sponsored by others, such as Fulbright research fellowships, CAORC multi-country fellowships, Getty research exchange fellowships, and Kress Foundation fellowships in Art History. The CAARI Director provides guidance to fellows on matters related to their research and on facilities available at CAARI and in Cyprus, and facilitates contacts with relevant local authorities and scholars. In addition to their research work, fellows are asked to give a lecture on their work, participate in roundtable discussions, and are featured speakers at CAARI symposia.
