Fellowship for CNRS Humanities & Social Sciences & IAS CEU Budapest Fellows
Initiated in 2025, the Oszkár Sárkány fellowship commemorates a Hungarian Bohemist (1912–1943), working for a new inclusive and transnational perspective on cultural history with strong ties to French developments in humanities and social sciences, who died tragically young during World War II in a punishment battalion where he was sent because of his oppositional stance to the Horthy regime.
