                 NATO RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS PROGRAMME 1993-1994



         The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is pleased to announce
         the award of 84 fellowships to citizens of NATO member nations
         and of cooperation partner countries in Central and Eastern
         Europe.

         The aim of these NATO fellowships is to promote research
         leading to pu- blication in two distinct areas. The first type
         of fellowship is awarded to ci- tizens of NATO member
         countries for the study of aspects of the common interests and
         shared values of the Alliance. This category of award targets
         both indivi- dual projects and institutions, the latter in the
         form of support for research groups. This year 20 fellowships
         have been granted.

         The second category originates from the May 1989 NATO Summit,
         which de- cided to establish a new Fellowship Programme whose
         goal was to promote the stu- dy of democratic institutions.
         These fellowships are aimed exclusively at citizens of Central
         and Eastern European countries. This year 64 such fellow-
         ships have been awarded.

         The membership of the Selection Committee, the names of the
         NATO Fellows and their study are given at annex.
