Each year, two Stiftung Südtiroler Sparkasse Global Fellowships 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 Fellowships are remunerated and compatible with other non-related working duties, university studies or other research topics. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Global Fellowship 2022 will be conducted online. Pandemic-related restrictions permitting, during the fellowship 1-2 short visits at the Center for Advanced Studies in Bolzano, Italy may be agreed upon. Applications are limited to citizens from EU countries, preferably from Central-Eastern and Eastern Europe. We particularly encourage applications from women, and other individuals who are under-represented in academic research.
The Global Fellowships are funded by the
Stiftung Südtiroler Sparkasse / Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Bolzano.
