The UF Center for European Studies (CES) at the University of Florida is soliciting proposals for its Graduate Student Brown Bag Series. UF graduate students, in any discipline, whose research focuses on Europe (broadly defined), are encouraged to submit proposals.

Students whose proposals are selected will be invited to present their research at the weekly Brownbag Series. Proposals should consist of a short (150 words) description of the research project and its relevance to European studies, and should be sent by e-mail to Petia Kostadinova ([log in to unmask]) with a subject line of "Graduate Student Brownbag Series"

There is no deadline for submissions and proposals will be reviewed on a regular basis.

In Fall 2010, the Brownbag Series will meet on Wednesdays during 5th period in TUR 3312. The CES provides finger food, chips and sodas, and attendees are encouraged to bring brownbag lunches.

The CES will also award 1-2 $500 annual award for the best graduate brownbag paper(s). To be considered for the award, students whose proposals are selected for the series will be asked to also submit a research paper (on the topic of their brownbag presentation). A hard copy of the paper will be due on the day of the presentation.
