Human Rights Fellowship Program

College Scholarships » Academic Scholarships » Education Scholarships

Through Raoul Wallenberg Institute's international development projects and through its various research initiatives, RWI strives to be a meeting point for theory and practice in the implementation of human rights.

To further support these efforts RWI is offering an eight month NHRI Fellowship.

The aim of the fellowship programme is to expand the understanding of the role NHRIs play in promoting and protecting human rights, to support research associated with NHRIs, and to help facilitate dialogue between NHRI scholars and practitioners.

The Fellow will have the opportunity to further her/his professional development by conducting research related to NHRIs and interacting with leading human rights scholars and expert NHRI practitioners from around the world.

It is expected that the Fellow will be based at RWI for the eight month fellowship period and that she/he will not have any other professional commitments during that time period.

The Fellow is also required during the course of the fellow-ship to complete a research project resulting in a written work.

The Fellow will form part of the RWI research and academic community and be expected to contribute to RWI NHRI related lectures, seminars, and workshops, and to provide feedback on RWI related NHRI initiatives that are ongoing or under development.

The NHRI Fellow will be provided with a stipend sufficient to fully cover all necessary personal expense in Sweden.

In addition to the stipend, the Fellow will be provided with a modest travel allowance to support costs travelling to/from Lund, office space, computer/Internet connections, acute medical insurance, and access to the RWI library and its unique collection of NHRI materials.
