Aleksanteri Visiting Fellows Alumni We wish to continue working with previous Aleksanteri Visiting Fellows who have established research contacts with colleagues in Finland. A part of the total 25-30 monthly fellowships will be allocated for Aleksanteri Visiting Fellows Alumni. Notification of Applicants and Evaluation of Applications The selection of Fellows will be concluded by 10 April 2013 and the names of the Aleksanteri Visiting Fellows will be published on the Institute's website on 15 April 2013. The applications are evaluated by three experts. Feedback on the applications will not be provided and only successful applicants will be personally notified of the result. Practical Matters Please note that the Fellowship is a grant, not a salary, and is therefore no t subject to Finnish taxation. Accordingly, Fellows are not staff members of the University of Helsinki and, consequently, are not entitled to University of Helsinki staff benefits, such as insurance and occupational health care. Because Fellows are not covered by the University's insurance policy, they are expected to make arrangements for their own health and medical insurance and to provide proof of a valid insurance policy when beginning their Fellowship term. The Aleksanteri Institute will assist successful applicants with practical arrangements and in finding accommodation. The Institute cannot, however, guarantee to provide the desired accommodation.
