PRESS RELEASE (95)45                        18 May 1995


   NATO RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS PROGRAMME 1995-1997


The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is pleased to
announce the award of  91 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 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 aims at both individual projects and
institutions, the latter in the form of support for
research groups. This year 26 such 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 Fellows and their study are given at annex.  For
further information, please contact NATO's Academic
Affairs Officer, Dr. Spyros C. Philippas, tel:

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, 26

democratiques. Ces bourses sont reservees aux
ressortissants des pays d'Europe centrale et orientale.
