Call for EU Eastern Partnership Civil Society Fellowships 2016 – Public Policy Stream
The EU Eastern Partnership Civil Society Fellowships 2016 (Public Policy Stream) aim at identifying and promoting talented public policy professionals who can advance the quality of public debate on crucial policy issues within the Eastern Partnership (EaP). The Fellowships are available to citizens of the six EaP countries.
The purpose of the Fellowships is to encourage leading young researchers from the EaP region to apply their skills towards better policy making. The policy briefs (5-7 pages) will be written in English and elaborated under the supervision of peers from the EU, which will be assigned to the Fellows based on the topic of their proposed research. The peers will offer guidance in relation to policy writing, understanding of the EU and its policies, as well as general advocacy strategy.
It is not necessary to cover all six EaP countries in the briefs, but advantage will be given to multi-country papers. The policy briefs need to be completed (in a publishable form) by 05 November 2016. The researchers will be subcontracted and offered an honorarium of EUR 2.500 per policy brief. This amount should include any expenses related to the production of this policy brief (including data collection, publicity, communication, possible translations and proofreading).
The deadline for the applications is 13 September 2016.
