The Western Balkans–Visegrad Fellowships (pilot program) offer funding for individual short-term stays for V4 and WB6 scholars, lecturers, academic staff, researchers & scientists in two main directions—citizens of V4 countries can apply to relevant host institutions in the Western Balkans (WB6), and citizens of the WB6 region can apply to relevant host institutions in V4 countries.

The Western Balkans–Visegrad Fellowships allow WB6 citizens to apply for short-term fellowships at V4 research institutions (in Czechia, Poland, Hungary, or Slovakia). Reciprocally, V4 applicants can apply for fellowships at WB6 institutions (in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Kosovo,* or Serbia).

The program is jointly funded by the International Visegrad Fund and the Western Balkans Fund.

The fellowships are provided for a limited period ranging from 2 to 10 weeks during which the respective fellow is to conduct (or participate in) research, hold lectures or seminars at a higher-education level, or study or review specific sets of written or other materials available in public archives or libraries.
