PRESS RELEASE (94)40                         26 May 1994

    NATO RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS PROGRAMME 1994-1996

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is pleased to announce the
award of 89 fellowships to citizens of NATO
member nations and cooperation partner countries in Central and
Eastern Europe.

The aim of these NATO fellowships is to promote research leading
to publication in two distinct areas. The first type of
fellowship is awarded to citizens 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 individual
projects and institutions, the latter in the form of support for
research groups. This year 24 fellowships have been granted.

The second category originates from the May 1989 NATO Summit,
which decided to establish a new Fellowship
Programme whose goal was to promote the study of democratic
institutions. These fellowships are aimed exclusively at citizens
of Central and Eastern European countries. This year 65 such
fellowships have been awarded.

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

differents. Le premier type de bourse est octroye a des
ressortissants de pays membres de l'OTAN, pour l'etude de

pays de l'Alliance. Cette categorie de bourses vise a la fois des
projets individuels et institutionnels, ces derniers sous forme
d'une aide a des groupes de recherche. Cette annee, 24 projets

nouveau programme de bourses de recherche visant a promouvoir
l'etude des institutions democratiques. Ces bourses sont
reservees aux ressortissants des pays d'Europe centrale et
