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

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:

Asia-Pacific Programme

What are China's regional and global leadership ambitions and how are Beijing's

ambitions impacting its neighbourhood and global governance?

How do other Asian nations perceive China and how are they managing their relationships with China?
What international role are other rising powers such as India and Indonesia seeking and how can and will they change their regions and the wider world?
How are the various Indo-Pacific strategies and approaches of the US and its allies perceived in the region and how are they faring?
What has driven successful democratic consolidation in Asia and why is authoritarianism proving so enduring in some countries?
What models and approaches should developing nations in Asia take to ensure rapid and more balanced economic growth in future?

Digital Society Initiative

AI is rapidly developing as a technology shaping the world, but the vast majority of its

development takes place in industry and not in the public sector or between nations. How might a public option for AI be conceived of, funded or coordinated, either at a national level or internationally; in a specific sector or as general purpose public compute?

Europe Programme

Future of the EU: How will enlargement change the nature of the EU? What institutional reform is needed to enable enlargement to happen? How might a swing to the right across Europe challenge the enlargement agenda?
Safeguarding European security: What vulnerabilities do European countries, and NATO, have when it comes to economic security and energy security? How can these vulnerabilities be addressed? How can Europe unlock sustained and longterm action on security, and how does this interact with European competitiveness?
Europe's positioning in the world: how should Europe position itself between the US and China? What should its relations with Africa be? What does a geopolitical Europe look like in practice?

Global Health Programme

Considerations for regional strategic stockpiling of medical countermeasures for health

emergencies:
strengthening supply chain resilience and self-sufficiency.

Governance of pathogen research
Examination of the effectiveness of compulsory license flexibility in the Trips Agreement is it fit for purpose?
How effective are laboratory systems in Africa? What are the gaps, redundancies and vulnerabilities and how can a regional approach help?
Were lockdowns really necessary and are they a good idea for next time?

International Security Programme:

How can the parallels between space and cyberspace on responsible state behaviour help address shared challenges in both domains and ensure their secure and peaceful utilization?
In light of the evolving geopolitical challenges and emerging security threats, in what ways shou
