Through a generous bequest from Friedrich and Lieselotte Solmsen, the Institute offers four Solmsen Postdoctoral Fellowship to scholars from other than the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus working on literary and historical studies of the European Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance periods up to about the year 1700. Honorary fellows also participate in the Institute seminars and other activities. Funded by the Burdick-Vary bequest, the Institute periodically sponsors conferences and symposia which feature visiting scholars and local faculty members, and are open to the public. The Institute sponsors biweekly seminars on Monday afternoons during the academic year in the Institute library.
