CEP accomplishes this goal by developing partnerships with universities and institutions of higher education throughout the region.
For the 1997-1998 program year, we placed 137 Western-trained scholars in teaching and development positions in Albania, Be- larus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Poland, Roma- nia, Russia, Slovakia, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. In addition to their classroom teaching, CEP Fellows engage in a wide variety of outreach activities, including curriculum revision and library development projects, the organization of faculty retraining seminars and the sponsoring of academic conferences for students and faculty colleagues.
Those who are interested in applying for our Visiting Lecturer program should have a PhD or advanced graduate degree in Art History, Anthropology, Economics, History, International Rela- tions, Law, Library Science, Public Administration, Political Science or Sociology. Applicants should also have teaching ex- perience. Those who have lived abroad are favored. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Eastern Scholar Program ----------------------------------------------------------------- CEP is also accepting applications for the Eastern Scholar pro- gram for the 1998-99 academic year. The Eastern Scholar program supports outstanding scholars from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union who have obtained a graduate degree at a Western university and desire to return permanently to an academic post in their home countries. CEP assists Eastern Scholars to rees- tablish relations with their former universities and provides a modest stipend, some teaching materials, and access to CEP acade- mic programs and events.
