Description

Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, is a world leading, independent policy institute and a trusted forum for debate and dialogue.

Based in London, for more than 100 years our research and ideas have helped people to understand a rapidly changing world.

As a global think tank, our mission is to help governments and societies build a sustainably secure, prosperous and just world.

We pursue this mission through dialogue, analysis and delivering solutions-based ideas.

Now in our second century, Chatham House has an ambitious goal to prepare the next generation of thinkers to meet the challenges of tomorrow

Our Queen Elizabeth II Academy for Leadership and the Next Generation, established in 2014 and opened by Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, develops future policy makers and drives positive change in world affairs by equipping future leaders with the knowledge, skills and networks to make a lasting, positive impact on international affairs.

Academy fellowships, embedded in our exclusive training programme and supported by our prestigious research teams, offer an exciting opportunity to:

Build key leadership skills;
Develop a research project at a world leading policy institute and;
Connect with Chatham House's unique expert network, engaging in dialogue and debate to expand understanding of critical international issues.

Academy Fellowships

In a joint initiative with the Open Society University Network, The Academy is looking to host two fellows for a short-term, four-month fellowship from October 2024 to January 2025.

Academy Fellows are professionals from a wide range of backgrounds including government, research, academia, civil society, journalism, for example, who are at the early to mid-point of their career and who are passionate about identifying evidence-based solutions to some of the world's most pressing international challenges.

They are often experts in their individual fields who show exceptional promise as emerging leaders in their home countries, regions or even internationally.

Fellows are strongly encouraged to consider the overall Chatham House mission, values and goals, align their proposal with the work and focus of the research programmes listed, and develop research proposals that seek to directly contribute to the topics listed:
