Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies Harvard believes strongly that a vital part of the training of future Europeanists is the ability to conduct fieldwork in the region associated with the research. Thanks to an endowment originally provided by the Krupp Foundation, the Center is able to provide a year of support for dissertation research abroad to a large numbers of students. In 2019, 13 graduate students received Dissertation Research Fellowships to conduct research in Europe.
