Program and timeline of the Academy.

The program will include lectures, seminars and workshops led by acknowledged academics from the two partner institutions, as well as other renowned scholars. Prepared especially for the students of American universities, it will help you develop specific areas of interest that you will later implement in the form of individual projects in cooperation with an assigned tutor.

The international program will be carried out over 16 months – from September 2021 to December 2022, and will consist of the following elements:
