The Carnegie Research Fellowship Program (CRFP) is administered by the National Council for Eurasian and East European Research (NCEEER) in collaboration with the American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS (American Councils) and the Caucasus Research Resource Centers (CRRC).
Specifically, scholars in the social sciences and the humanities may apply for individual, non-degree research opportunities at universities and institutes in the United States. The program is directed at advanced researchers that already have a demonstrated track record in research. The research period lasts up to a full semester (4 months), starting either September 2012 or January 2013.
Individuals who are eligible to participate in the fellowship program:
NCEEER, the American Councils, and the CRRC do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national or ethnic origin, handicap or disability.

A total of four scholars (“Carnegie Fellows”) from the South Caucasus will be brought to UCB under the program for an intensive review of the key literature, theoretical approaches, and methods employed in a particular field of scholarship (“field theme”). Each Carnegie Fellow will work with a paired UCB faculty member and graduate student with knowledge of the Carnegie Fellow’s field theme to develop undergraduate and graduate syllabi and teaching materials, explore innovative teaching and research techniques and technologies, and prepare a field survey (with a literature review). The language of the workshop will be English.
Airfare, hotel, and meal expenses will be paid for by ISEEES. In addition, ISEEES will either pay for or reimburse each Carnegie Scholar for up to $600 in expenses relating to purchasing, copying, and posting teaching materials.

Public Lecture: Small and medium enterprise (SME)
Social responsibility in Azerbaijan
Time: 15:30
Location: CRRC-Azerbaijan, Khazar University, 122 Bashir Safaroglu Street, Baku
Overview: What is the extent of small and medium enterprise (SME) social responsibility in Azerbaijan? Do they drive the country’s modernization and economic development or prefer to side with more traditional ways of doing business? These and other important issues are studied in the in-depth survey conducted by the author. Based on the survey of the Azerbaijani SME, the research demonstrates that the local entrepreneurs demonstrate low rates of social participation.
