After a successful launch in 2016/17 with seven high-caliber international scholars, the Global Education Outreach Program (GEOP) is about to begin the second academic year of GEOP Doctoral and Postdoctoral Research Fellowships. GEOP Research Fellowships are the product of a joint initiative of POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews and the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, within the framework of the Global Education Outreach Program (GEOP). GEOP Research Fellows have the opportunity to conduct archival research at POLIN Museum, the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, and other archives throughout Poland, and to present their research at academic seminars at POLIN Museum, where they exchange ideas and receive feedback from Polish scholars as well as their co-Fellows.
