EURIAS Fellow 2015/16

Applying for a scholarship can be nerve-wracking, and applying for a EURIAS fellowship doubly so as you do not necessarily know which city or even country you might end up in if the application is accepted.  Thus, I was particularly delighted when I was invited to IASH in Edinburgh – my favourite out of the three institutes in two countries that I picked from the long list of participating institutes – as one of the first two EURIAS fellows in 2015/2016.
