The aim of the Global Innovation Fellowships is to offer early- and mid-career researchers in the humanities and social sciences based in the UK opportunities to enhance their skills, networks, and careers in various sectors such as creative and cultural, public, private, and policy.
These fellowships are designed to address challenges that require innovative approaches and solutions. The program encourages researchers within the SHAPE community to establish connections beyond academia, facilitating knowledge mobilization, translation, and individual skills development.
About The Fellowship
As part of the pilot phase, the British Academy is excited to collaborate with the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) in Berlin. DGAP is dedicated to advancing impactful foreign and security policies in Germany and Europe, promoting democracy, peace, and the rule of law.
Their experts provide strategic advice based on foreign policy research to decision-makers in politics, business, and civil society. Additionally, DGAP conducts practical research to develop concrete solutions for pressing foreign policy concerns and contributes expertise to strategically tackle the challenges of an increasingly unstable world. The Global Innovation Fellowship award holders will have the opportunity to embed themselves and work from DGAP’s office in Berlin.
Global Innovation Fellowships 2024
The goal is to establish a mutually beneficial partnership between the Global Innovation Fellowship award holder and DGAP, allowing both parties to benefit from fresh perspectives and expand their networks and influence. This collaboration will enable the award holder to strengthen existing connections and form new ones in the realms of policy and academia, facilitating the mobilization and translation of knowledge. It will also provide an opportunity for the award holder to develop innovative approaches and solutions to policy challenges by offering a different perspective.
