Academy Stavros Niarchos Foundation Fellowship
The Academy Stavros Niarchos Foundation Fellowship is a joint initiative of Chatham House and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. The purpose of this fellowship is to offer young and promising leaders from Greece and the Greek diaspora the opportunity to develop their understanding, ideas and approaches on the most pressing challenges facing the world. Fellows will have the chance to advance their knowledge, develop research skills and build links with the policy, academic and other communities in the UK and more widely.
Chatham House will provide a dynamic base within which the fellows can pursue their own research interests; further develop their personal interaction, communication and leadership skills; extend their global networks; and deepen their expertise by contributing to the institute’s research and activities. This experience will inform the fellows’ contributions to improved regional and national decision-making on issues of great relevance to prosperity and security in Europe and the world.
Call for applications 2016/17
The 2016/17 application window is now open and will close on 31 May 2016.
Applications are invited from Greek nationals and the Greek diaspora. Candidates should be at an early to middle stage in their career but should already have some research and publication experience.
Applications will be invited for an Academy fellow position and the fellowship will commence in September 2016 for a term of 12 months.
Academy fellowships are open to individuals at the mid-stage of their career. These fellowships will offer a comprehensive programme of activities at the institute and will work towards producing a Chatham House publication from their research. This new generation of emerging leaders will bring fresh insights to debates on critical issues for their region, while gaining a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities of a competitive yet interdependent world.
