Since 2003 the Soros Foundation has been developing the Open Society Fellows Program dedicated to those over 1000 graduates of academic, post-academic and research scholarships granted by the Foundation in the period 1997 – 2005. In the last 3 years we decided to open the program to other scholars, as well as, to give to as many people as possible the opportunity to participate in our activities. The programs aims both at creating a community of graduates and a climate of cooperation among them and at putting to good use the knowledge they gathered during their studies abroad, to the benefit of the civil society and of the key public institutions. Since the beginning of this program, the Foundation granted financing to non-governmental organizations to employ over 20 graduates.
