The International Policy Fellowships (IPF) program is calling for
applications for 2006-2007 fellowships. Launched in 1998 and affiliated
with the Open Society Institute and the Center for Policy Studies (CPS)
of the Central European University in Budapest, these fellowships
support analytical policy research in pursuance of open society goals
such as the rule of law, democratic elections, diverse and vigorous
civil societies, and respect for minorities. Each year the IPF program
invites research proposals that address critical issues in the
development of open societies. Successful applicants will demonstrate
originality, sound project design and the strong likelihood that their
project may lead to significant impact on policy.
The IPF program seeks to enhance the quality of policy research in the
countries where the Soros Network operates, throughout Central and
Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and Mongolia, as well as
countries in South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North
Africa. It places strong emphasis on independent research that is both
rigorous and appreciative of practical implications. Analysis and
evaluation of existing policy contexts should be based on explicit
criteria and fellows should be able to communicate their ideas and
findings in a variety of professional and public settings.
*Applicants are encouraged to submit individual, practical and
policy-oriented research proposals in the following subject areas. The
product of each fellowship will be a detailed analysis of a major issue
to be published in English and translated into other languages:*
*2006-7 Fellowship Issue Areas: General Framework: New Frontiers of
Democratic Politics*
* *The Challenge of Wider Europe*
* *Open Society Promotion in Predominantly Muslim Societies*
* *Combating Open Society Threats*
* *Combating the Resource Curse *
* *Roma Exclusion *
* *Open Information Policy *
*Main Terms of the International Policy Fellowship Award*
* Fellows receive supervision and support from a senior policy analyst
* Fellows are invited to Budapest in April 2006 for initial
