The Calouste Gulbenkian Fellowship enables each year one outstanding scholar to conduct research on important issues related to transatlantic relations at the Center for Transatlantic Relations, which is based at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, D.C.
