The proposed research may concern any aspect of Ancient Greek Culture approached through any discipline including, but not limited to, anthropology, archaeology, art history, education, history, literary criticism, philology, philosophy, political science, religious studies, sociology, as well as related subfields.
The Fellowship includes:
- Year-long appointment as CHS-AUTH Fellow in Hellenic Studies.
- Year-long access to Harvard University’s online databases and resources and to AUTH’s library system.

- Invitation to pre-publish the outcomes of their research in one of CHS E-Journals.
- Invitation to attend the annual CHS-International Olympic Academy (“IOA”) Scholars Symposium in Ancient Olympia.
- Organization of events in order the Fellows to present their research to students (graduate and undergraduate) of AUTH’s Department of Classics.
- Office space for the Fellows in AUTH in order to be able to conduct their research on campus.

- Propose collaborative, interdisciplinary projects.
- Indicate that they are comfortable working in an international, multilingual community of scholars doing research primarily in English.
