Academy Robert Bosch Fellowship
The Academy Robert Bosch Fellowship is designed to provide an opportunity for future thought leaders from the six countries of the Eastern Partnership and Russia 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. The fellowship scheme is generously supported by the Robert Bosch Foundation and hosted by The Queen Elizabeth II Academy for Leadership in International Affairs at Chatham House.
