Each academic year (October–September), the BCDSS awards a six-month fellowship to benefit from the Library of Ancient Slavery (LAS) for a research project on slavery and dependency. The library, one of the largest in the world on the subject of ancient slavery, was formerly the centerpiece of the Mainz Academy of Sciences and Literature project Forschungen zur antiken Sklaverei ('Research on Ancient Slavery') and is now located in Bonn, where it is available to the students, fellows, and faculty members of the BCDSS.
The fellowship program is named after a woman called 'Euthenia,' who lived in Roman Bonn. To give international scholars access to this library in a vibrant and interdisciplinary research environment, the BCDSS set up the Euthenia Fellowship Program.
