Each year, two Global Fellowships funded by the Stiftung Südtiroler Sparkasse / Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Bolzano are awarded. The selected Fellows are offered the opportunity to collaborate with the interdisciplinary team at the Center for Advanced Studies on topics of common interest, linking personal experiences and research with the Center’s expertise.

The focus of the Fellowship is dedicated to contemporary and future social, political and economic challenges. The Global Fellows will receive a grant, which is compatible with other non-related working duties, university studies or other research topics.
The Global Fellowship 2023 will be conducted online. During the Fellowship 1-2 short visits at the Center for Advanced Studies in Bolzano/Bozen (Italy) may be agreed upon. Applications are limited to citizens from EU countries. We particularly encourage applications from people belonging to underrepresented groups in academic research.

Global Fellows' expected activities comprise:

Participating in selected team activities, conferences and research meetings organized by the Center for Advanced Studies;
Granting active participation in at least one of the projects undertaken at the Center for Advanced Studies, to be defined based on the Fellow’s competences and area of expertise;
Delivering two lectures/presentations on the fellow's current research during public events or internal seminars;
Writing 1-2 blog contributions for the Center for Advanced Studies’ online magazine;
When applicable, contributing to joint publications and/or an edited books with the editors at the Center;
Being available for press interviews and other relevant media work when applicable.

The Global Fellowships are funded by the
Stiftung Südtiroler Sparkasse / Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Bolzano.
