Applications are invited for Open Society Fellowship. International students are eligible for this fellowship. This is a fellowship for individuals only and does not fund enrollment for degree or non-degree study at academic institutions, including dissertation research.
International Fellowship terms are for one year
which covers stipend, accommodation, airfare, visa costs, research assistance,
conference fees and health insurance. Most fellows spend a portion of their term
in one or more Open Society Foundation offices. The deadlines for application is
February 1, 2014.
The Open Society Fellowship was founded in 2008 to support individuals pursuing
innovative and unconventional approaches to fundamental open society challenges.
The fellowship funds work that will enrich public understanding of those
challenges and stimulate far-reaching and probing conversations within the Open
Society Foundations and in the world.
A fellowship project might identify a problem that has not previously been
recognized, develop new policy ideas to address familiar problems, or offer a
new advocacy strategy. Project themes should cut across at least two areas of
interest to the Open Society Foundations. Among these are human rights,
government transparency, access to information and to justice, and the promotion
of civil society and social inclusion.
Fellows are expected to take full advantage of the foundations' expansive reach
and work to bring new people and fresh ideas into the organization's ambit.
Successful projects should push the boundaries of current thinking and carry
lessons that can be applied to a variety of settings. Fellows may produce a
variety of work products, including publications such as books, reports, or
blogs; innovative public-education projects; or the launch of new campaigns or
organizations. They may also engage in activities such as hosting panel
discussions, traveling to conferences, participating in policy debates, and
aggressively promoting their ideas in public venues.
