ACES Young Scholars Network | ACES Pre-dissertation Research Grants

ACES YOUNG SCHOLARS NETWORK

The ACES Young Scholars Network brings together Washington, D.C. area graduate students to meet with EU officials, share their research interests, and participate in other ACES activities. Students are involved from American, George Mason, George Washington, Georgetown and Johns Hopkins universities. The Young Scholars Network is completely student-run. The staff of the BMW Center for German and European Studies at Georgetown University provides logistical support.

Students from the participating universities have elected representatives to a planning committee. Please contact any of its members below for more information about the Network and suggestions for further events.
