Guest Scholars

The CLE Master gives to international professors  the opportunity to spend a period within the universities of the Consortium. High-qualified scholars are invited to carry out their teaching and research activity in order to develop a fruitful scientific collaboration with both the academic staff and the students from the host universities.
The Application process is open throughout the year.  Candidates can apply by filling the following  Application form.
Over the years, many international scholars have participated to the CLE Master program: they have established an institutional and academic collaboration with didactic activities, by presenting to the students their research, supervising their thesis, offering lessons and seminars about European literatures and cultures, and taking part in conferences and lectures.
