ANNUAL EUROPE-ASIA / OSTEUROPA LECTURE COMPETITION
The journals Europe-Asia Studies (Glasgow, Scotland, UK) and Osteuropa (Aachen, Germany) invite submissions for the fifth ANNUAL EUROPE-ASIA / OSTEUROPA LECTURE to be delivered in May 2002 in Aachen/Cologne and at the Institute of Central and East European Studies, University of Glasgow. The title of the lecture series refers to Europe-Asia Studies, formerly Soviet Studies, and to Osteuropa, the two
major international journals in the field of Russian, Central and East European studies. The winning lecture will subsequently be published in both journals.
The goal of the lecture is to spot young and particularly promising researchers in the field of Central and East European studies (social scientists and historians) working in these countries and to present them to the worldwide academic community involved in 'transition studies' and history.
Europe-Asia Studies and Osteuropa invite young scholars (approximately 28 to 40 years old) educated and resident in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (including the Baltic states, Russia and other CIS countries) to submit a Draft Lecture no longer than 2,000 words which will be the basis for the lecture to be delivered in May 2002 in Germany and in Glasgow. This Draft Lecture can be a summary of recent work and should particularly highlight creative research tools or techniques, new theory or creative use of archival material by the applicant.
Since the lecture will be presented in English, the applicant must have a good command of spoken English.
The author of the winning application will be invited to deliver the lecture in Glasgow and Aachen/ Cologne and will stay in each city for three days; travel and accommodation expenses will be
met by the two journals.
Applications must include (1) the Draft Lecture, (2) a one-page curriculum vitae including date of birth, (3) a full list of publications of the applicant (this must be submitted in 4 copies) and his or her mailing address, preferably including email and fax number.
Applications are to be sent to: The Editor, Europe-Asia Studies, Institute of Central and East European Studies, Hetherington Building, Bute Gardens, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland, UK G12 8RS
NB Applications sent by fax or email will not be accepted. The deadline for applications is 1 January 2002. The winning applicant will be informed by 1 March 2002.

Aceasta serie este organizata in

In cadrul programului, specialisti si manageri romani participa la un stagiu de perfectionare in
Germania, cu durata de 10(13) luni desfasurat in intreprinderi si institutii germane. Obiectivul este familiarizarea cu experienta germana prin contact direct, pentru a putea sprijini procesul de reforma economica a intreprinderilor romanesti prin prisma aspectelor ecologice.
