The grant is meant to support young scholars willing to partake in the events organised by the centre, either online or in person. It is named after Marcello Comèl (1902-1996), founder of the Institutio Santoriana Fondazione Comel, a versatile polyglot and an early supporter of the wider integration of the European research community.
