Applicant Profile

“As a Polish academic working here in multicultural, diverse Vienna, I’m surprised how <<tolerance>> is often viewed in Poland as the highest possible ambition for LGBT inclusion,” points out Prof. Maciej Kisilowski, Faculty Director of CEU Executive MBA. “At CEU we do not merely <<tolerate>> diversity — we cherish it as a foundation of innovative thinking in an Open Society. That is why, we are excited to fund this generous fellowship for a distinguished LGBT manager.”

Applications will be reviewed and considered on a rolling basis. The Selection Committee reserves the right to choose awardees.

Applications are currently open.
