<strong>MCC</strong> Visiting Fellowship Program<br />
Launched in 2020, the Visiting Fellowship Program offers international scholars the opportunity to conduct<br />
research and teach in Budapest for a period ranging from two weeks to one year. Recipients of the<br />
Visiting Fellowship Program are not only<br />
prominent foreign researchers and professors,<br />
but often are outstanding Hungarian<br />
scholars living abroad. The Visiting Fellowship<br />
Program involves internationally<br />
renowned researchers and experts in the<br />
activities of <strong>MCC</strong> and in Hungarian academic<br />
and public life. As of 2023 , nearly<br />
30 international experts from 12 countries<br />
have participated in the program. These include<br />
Dr. Gladden Pappin, now President<br />
of the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs, Dr. Peter Boghossian, a world-renowned American<br />
philosopher, Dr. Diego Muro, an expert on terrorism and Senior Lecturer in International Relations at<br />
the University of St Andrews in Scotland, Dr. Gábor Csepregi, a Canadian philosopher of Hungarian<br />
origin who was also the coach of the Canadian water polo team, and Dr. Calum Nicholson, a distinguished<br />
anthropologist with a doctorate from the University of Oxford.<br />
<strong>MCC</strong> Fellowship Program<br />
In the autumn of 2020, Mathias Corvinus Collegium launched a three-month fellowship program for<br />
students who wish to supplement their knowledge gained in Hungary by conducting research and taking<br />
part in professional programs abroad. Scholarship grantees are supported by mentors to conduct<br />
research on political, historical, social, and economic topics related to Hungary or the region. Successful<br />
applicants participate in the activities of their host institution abroad by taking part in conferences and<br />
other professional events and meetings, integrating themselves into the vibrant academic life of their<br />
host country and contributing to the str<strong>eng</strong>thening of Hungary’s partnerships. <strong>MCC</strong> works closely<br />
with 50 partner institutions including universities, think tanks, and research centers in 15 countries,<br />
from the United States to Europe, India, and South Africa. Since the beginning of the program, more<br />
than 25 students have conducted research and gained work experience abroad.<br />
