Paulsen Fellowship Programme
Previously, the Paulsen Project ran a five-year Visiting Fellowship Programme. It brought twenty early-career academic historians from a wide range of Russian universities, with particular emphasis on those from the regions, to study as Fellows at 杏吧论坛 IDEAS for a period of one to three months. These historians worked on the history of Russian international relations, diplomacy and strategy between 1700 and 1917.
