Opportunity description
The Queen Elizabeth II Academy for Leadership in International Affairs is inviting applications for the Academy Robert Bosch Fellowship (Central & Eastern Europe and Africa). The Fellowship is a joint initiative of Chatham House and the Robert Bosch Stiftung and is open to citizens of Central and Eastern European Countries and Africa. The Fellowship is an opportunity for emerging and experienced leaders and practitioners to spend 10 months in London as an Academy fellow beginning in September 2018. The fellowship provides an opportunity for research as well as participation in the Academy’s leadership program.
