INTERNATIONAL POLICY FELLOWSHIPS, 2006-2007
All applications must be submitted online by September 20, 2005 from
www.soros.org/initiatives/ipf
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The International Policy Fellowships (IPF) program is calling for
applications for 2006-2007 fellowships. Launched in 1998 and affiliated
with the Open Society Institute and the Center for Policy Studies (CPS) of
the Central European University in Budapest, these fellowships support
analytical policy research in pursuance of open society goals such as the
rule of law, democratic elections, diverse and vigorous civil societies,
and respect for minorities. Each year the IPF program invites research
proposals that address critical issues in the development of open
societies. Successful applicants will demonstrate originality, sound
project design and the strong likelihood that their project may lead to
significant impact on policy.
The IPF program seeks to enhance the quality of policy research in the
countries where the Soros Network operates, throughout Central and Eastern
Europe, the former Soviet Union, and Mongolia, as well as countries in
South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. It places
strong emphasis on independent research that is both rigorous and
appreciative of practical implications. Analysis and evaluation of existing
policy contexts should be based on explicit criteria and fellows should be
able to communicate their ideas and findings in a variety of professional
and public settings.
Applicants are encouraged to submit individual, practical and
policy-oriented research proposals in the following subject areas. The
product of each fellowship will be a detailed analysis of a major issue to
be published in English and translated into other languages:
2006-7 Fellowship Issue Areas: General Framework: New Frontiers of
Democratic Politics
The Challenge of Wider Europe
Open Society Promotion in Predominantly Muslim Societies
Combating Open Society Threats
Combating the Resource Curse
Roma Exclusion
Open Information Policy
