*Second Augustin Hirschvogel Fellowship at the Institute for East and 
Southeast European Studies in Regensburg (2017)*

In 2017, the Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (IOS) for 
the second time awards the Augustin Hirschvogel Fellowship. The IOS 
encourages applications from historians, geographers, cartographers and 
scholars of cognate disciplines, who focus on Eastern or Southeastern 
Europe. The duration of the research stay is up to four weeks. As part 
of a mutual agreement with the institute, the fellow is expected to 
contribute to the development of GeoPortOst by testing and exploiting 
it. GeoPortOst is the IOS gateway for historical maps, printed in books 
and published for the first time digitally in GIS format. The amount 
allowance is determined by the length of stay and the applicant's 
professional experience.

Augustin Hirschvogel (1503–1553) was a German cartographer, who produced 
maps of Southeastern Europe (Carniola, Croatia, Bosnia and Hungary) and 
Eastern Europe (maps for /Rerum Moscoviticarum Commentarii/ by Sigismund 
von Herberstein). Moreover, the oldest map of the IOS library's stock 
(from 1575) is a work by Hirschvogel.

The Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (IOS, 
www.ios-regensburg.de) in Regensburg is an independent research facility 
with close links to the University of Regensburg. It conducts 
interdisciplinary research in the historical, economic and political 
developments of Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Another significant 
feature is the institute's distinctly international orientation. 
Furthermore, the IOS maintains a special library holding a stock of more 
than 320,000 media units of literature in humanities and social sciences 
relating to the countries of Eastern and Southeastern Europe.

Together with the University of Regensburg, the institute provides an 
attractive research environment in a city known for its high quality of 
life. Regensburg has one of Germany's largest preserved medieval cities 
holding the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We now invite applications for our 2017 Augustin Hirschvogel Fellowship. 
Please submit your application *_online_* via the IOS application portal 
until *August 31, 2016* at 
http://www.ios-regensburg.de/en/visiting-fellows-program.html.
