InteRussia Team is launching a call for applications for the InteRussia programme of short-term scientific and research fellowships for rising professionals in international relations, political science and area studies. The project is conducted with grant support from the Presidential Grants Fund.
InteRussia is an opportunity for aspiring experts in history, theory and practice of international relations, political science and area studies to get fully immersed into Russian academia, visit policy-making institutions, participate in expert sessions hosted by universities, think tanks and non-governmental organisations. The unique feature of the programme is that the selected participants will be able to work in close contact with and under the academic guidance of leading Russian IR scholars from MGIMO University.
The mission of the programme is to build a horizontal network of rising scholars from around the globe to foster fruitful academic dialogue on emerging IR perspectives in an increasingly multipolar world.
The fellowship activities will be organised in English and hosted at MGIMO University (Moscow, Russia) from October 21 to December 1.
The theme of the 2024 autumn fellowship is “Values and Institutions in the Changing World Order”.
The deadline for applications is September 1, 11:59 pm Moscow time (UTC +3). The results of the competition will be communicated to all candidates by email.
