The development of internship programs, Fellowship and Honorary Fellowship is one of the main activities of the Center. Engagement of scientists and young talented researchers to exchange opinions, participate in conferences and classes in libraries is an important part of our scientific structure. The internship program was founded in 2010 and from then onward many scientists from around the world took part in our research.
Every year since 2016, scientific "Fire-breathing Lion" prize is also awarded for research in the field of national minorities protection, the history of European democracy, the most useful research for society. The establishment and development of any research center is impossible without classes in libraries and archival institutions. Therefore, we pay great attention to the issue of encouraging young scientists to participate in major scientific conferences, forums and to visit the main centers for the study of European democracy in the world.
