In 2012, Chatham House in partnership with the Robert Bosch Stiftung, is hosting two Visiting Fellows from among the countries of the Eastern Partnership and Russia.

The Fellowship is intended to provide an opportunity for the next generation of scholars from the region to advance their knowledge of post-Soviet politics, develop research skills, contribute to Chatham House research, and build links with policy and academic communities in the UK, Germany and the EU more broadly. The Fellowship is aimed at future leaders, researchers and opinion-makers at the start of their careers.

The two Fellows will each spend six months working at Chatham House with the Russia and Eurasia Programme team. During this time they will conduct a research project of their own design relating to the politics, economies and societies of the post-Soviet region. In the course of the Fellowship, the scholars will conduct research trips to the region and also spend time at a German think tank in Berlin. 

The first Robert Bosch Fellow, Orysia Lutsevych, joined the Russia and Eurasia Programme in January. Orysia is researching the role of civil society in democratization, focusing on the cases of Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
