The Global Challenges Fellowship assembles scholars from rising
non-Western powers to explore questions in the humanities or social
sciences relevant to the most pressing public policy challenges of the
21st century. GCF fosters new forms of scientific collaboration and
enhances transnational and interdisciplinary cooperation between
regional and international partners. Supported by the Volkswagen
Foundation, the fellowship is hosted by the School of Public Policy and
the Institute for Advanced Study, both at Central European University in
Budapest, as well as the Global Public Policy Institute in Berlin.What does it cover?
-Fellows receive an allowance for accommodation in Budapest and Berlin as well as a monthly stipend. Fellows are expected to reside in Budapest and Berlin during their fellowship, pursue their research agendas and participate in the intellectual life of SPP and CEU IAS.
-Senior fellows will receive a net monthly stipend of 2,500 Euros for the duration of the program to help support their stay in Budapest and Berlin. Junior fellows will receive a net monthly stipend of 1,500 Euros. In addition, all fellows will receive a housing allowance for their stays in Budapest and Berlin. Fellows also receive limited funds (up to 2,000 Euros) for travel to and from their home country and between Budapest and Berlin, as well as health insurance coverage.
Selection Criteria: Fellows will be chosen by a selection committee with representatives from the three program partners. The selection process will include interviews with shortlisted candidates. The committee will consider primarily the quality of the research proposal, publication record, research agenda, relevance and feasibility of the proposed project, record of policy engagement and proficiency in the English language.
