The Romanian Cultural Institute offers 4 grants of 3,000 € each that cover the expenses of the foreign grantees during their three-months stay in Romania. The program is dedicated to academic upskilling focusing on both doctoral candidates who work on a Romanian theme for the preparation of the doctoral dissertations, and on the well-known researchers. The selection is made by an independent commission of specialists based on an application file, which must contain, among others, the recommendation from the coordinator of the doctoral dissertation (as the case may be). The fields for which the evaluation and selection is performed: Social sciences (History, Political Science, International Relations, Anthropology, Sociology, Economy, Law), Literature, Cultural patrimony and its management, as stated in the General guidelines of the RCI grants - Article 4.
