The Visegrad Scholarship at OSA
It is a joint grant scheme of the International Visegrad Fund and the Blinken OSA Archivum. Designed to provide access to the Archivum in Budapest, Hungary, grants of 3,000 euros each cover travel to and from Budapest, a modest subsistence, and accommodation for a research period of eight weeks. For shorter periods the grant amount is pro-rated. The Archivum's academic and archival staff will provide tailored guidance, assist the fellows in their investigations, and facilitate contact with the CEU community.
One per academic year, with a deadline in mid-November

Scholarship Program
The German Historical Institute Warsaw (GHI) offers scholarships to researchers whose work aligns with the Institute’s research objectives and available budget resources. We support research in German and East Central European history that requires a stay in Poland, Lithuania, or the Czech Republic. The grants are intended primarily for non-tenured, early-career scholars, and are awarded for periods ranging from one to four months (depending on the research project). We do not provide write-up grants. (...)
Internships
The German Historical Institute in Warsaw offers interested parties the opportunity to complete internships in their respective fields of work. This opportunity is available both in the academic field and in the Institute's library. Internships in the academic field are aimed at students in higher semesters whose studies focus on German-Polish relations and Polish or East Central European history and culture. Students of library science and library studies with a focus on academic libraries can apply for an internship in the library. The duration of the internships can be determined individually, but should be at least six weeks. (...)
