FYI Wolfgang Reinecke, a nonresident senior fellow with FP/IOS, is now Dean of the School of Public Policy at Central European University in Budapest. He’s organized a cool fellowship program for scholars from non-Western global powers that I thought you’d want to know about and share with your own colleagues who might be interested. More details below.

Dear Ted, I hope this message finds you well. As discussed when we met in DC we have now launched the Global Challenges Fellowship Program. The program is supported by the Volkswagen Foundation and implemented in partnership with the Institute for Advanced Study<http://ias.ceu.edu/> (CEU IAS) in Budapest, Hungary, and the Global Public Policy Institute<http://www.gppi.net/home/> (GPPi) in Berlin, Germany. The Global Challenges Fellowship program<http://www.globalchallengesfellowship.net/home/> (GCF) invites scholars from rising non-Western global powers, to explore complex research questions in the humanities or social sciences with relevance to the most pressing public policy challenges of the 21st century. GCF seeks to foster new forms of scientific collaboration, enhance transnational and interdisciplinary cooperation between regional and international partners and to encourage the development of fresh perspectives on global public policy issues. The Fellowship will support four junior and four senior fellows from Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa, and Turkey over the course of two years. Starting September 2015, Global Challenges Fellows will spend approximately 7-8 months doing analytical and empirical work at CEU in Budapest, and at GPPi in Berlin where they will engage with policy practitioners. Fellowships are available in five research areas: · Peace & Security · Humanitarian Assistance & Human Rights · Development & Good Governance · Internet Governance · Changing Global Institutions We are very excited by this opportunity. There is a need for a better academic understanding of the workings of multilateralism in an increasingly 'post-Western' world; European scholars and policymakers stand to profit from a deeper familiarity with the traditions, motivations, and world views of powers not traditionally regarded as part of 'the West.' Conversely, scholars from outside Europe are often not fully immersed in the diverse set of influences on Europe's multilateral policies. GCF Program is an excellent opportunity for this much-needed mutual learning and exchange. The Call for applications<http://www.globalchallengesfellowship.net/apply/> (attached) for the first round of fellowships is launched today and we are expecting applications by the March 30 deadline. I will reach out to Camila Asano as you have kindly suggested, but if you know other people or networks for whom this may be of interest please feel free to circulate. For more information and to apply, the program website can be found at www.globalchallengesfellowship.net<http://www.globalchallengesfellowship.net/> Thank you very much in advance! Best wishes, Wolfgang Wolfgang Reinicke Dean -------------------------------------------------------- [cid:[email protected]] Nador u. 9|1051 Budapest, Hungary Office: + 36 1 327 3110 | [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>| http://spp.ceu.hu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
