Basically, see the subj. That is, some guys are launching a study of the history of psychology in Armenia (it's not far from Caucasus mountains, between Black and Caspian sees; on the north-west from Iran, east from Turkey; for details please don't hesitate to ask googlemaps). The point of the study is to show Armenian psychology as a somewhat paradoxical mixture of both nationalist and international science. The issue of scientific brokerage will be explored at considerable length.

With the generous support of the Mikhail Prokhorov Foundation the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM, Vienna, Austria) established the Alexander Herzen Junior Visiting Fellowship program in the Humanities and Social Sciences for young researchers from the Siberian, Ural and Far-Eastern federal districts.

The aim of the program is

• to provide new opportunities to young researches from diverse academic, cultural and social backgrounds, coming from various geographical regions;
• to support highly qualified and promising young researchers, giving them access to an international and multidisciplinary research community as well as an excellent infrastructure for their work;
• to offer a highly fertile ground for the individual development of researchers and their professional advancement; and
• to strengthen academic mobility and the integration of young academics from these regions into the international research community, thus enabling them to broaden their network of professional contacts.

Alexander Herzen Junior Visiting Fellows will be selected on the basis of an open competition. They will work “in residence” at the IWM in Vienna, Austria, for six months as members of the Institute’s international, multidisciplinary community of junior and senior scholars. During this term they will pursue their individual research projects.
