📢 Call for applications: The Asia in the World Fellowship Programme 📢
🔹 The International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) introduces a groundbreaking fellowship programme that transforms traditional approaches to Asian Studies.
🔹 Moving beyond conventional North–South dynamics and regional frameworks, this innovative programme fosters a truly global dialogue through a distinctive two-phase nine-month structure: a three-month residency at a partner institution in Asia, Africa, Latin America, or Europe (Phase 1), followed by a six-month stay at IIAS, Leiden University, in the Netherlands (Phase 2). During the first phase, fellows in the same cohort will participate in online meetings with the coordinator of the IIAS Fellowship Programme.
🔹 The ‘Asia in the World’ programme is designed to promote innovative research and global collaboration in Asian Studies, ensuring that the fellowship benefits both individual researchers and the broader academic community. The co-hosting model helps sustain our ambition to make it a truly multi-centred mode of knowledge production and collaborative exchange.
🔹 Want to learn more about the fellowship programme and the application procedure? Join our online information session on Thursday 13 August (10:00 - 11:00 CEST)
⚠️Application Deadline is 10 September 2026
