	Announcement

	The Fondazione Centro Ricerche Studi e Documentazione Piero Sraffa, as part of its activities to support research in the field of the revival of the Classical approach to economic theory, offers a Senior Fellowship and a Junior Fellowship for the academic year 2005–06, addressed to scholars (preferably from outside Italy) interested in Classical political economy and the work of Piero Sraffa.

	The Senior Fellowship of €2,000 for a period of one month (dates to be agreed upon) is intended for an advanced scholar engaged in research on the subjects of interest to the Fondazione. The fellow will have use of the facilities of the Fondazione and will be invited to introduce and discuss his or her work in one or more seminars.

In addition, the Fondazione will admit other qualified students who can fund their stay from a different source.

Short essays will be written on assigned themes and discussed with supervisors fortnightly.
