Mobility Fellowships - Global Indo-Pacific

Mobility Fellowships - Global Indo-Pacific

The research node "Global Indo-Pacific: Connecting Histories and Futures" presently includes researchers from five MWS institutes (DIJ Tokyo, GHI London, MWF Delhi, GHI Paris, GHI Washington), the Asia Research Institute (ARI) at the National University of Singapore and the Institute for Asian and African Studies (IAAS) at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. It is centered at the Asia Research Institute of the National University of Singapore and conducts research within the three modules “History, Heritage and Civilization”, “Knowledge, Networks and Institutions” and “Earth, Energy and Water”. The respective research themes are detailed here.

The mobility fellowships support self-chosen innovative research projects with links to one of the module themes of the research node. They are granted for research stays from one to two months. We especially encourage stays that involve joint activities with researchers at the host institutions, such as workshops, publications etc. Fellows are expected to contribute to one of the module blogs, which will be set up on the MWS blog platform or write a research note based on the research conducted during their stay.

This call for applications aims at strengthening and expanding networks within and beyond the research node and invites applications for research stays of one to two months during the time period between April 2026 and October 2026. All of the partner institutions in the research hub (ARI, DIJ Tokyo, GHI London, MWF Delhi, GHI Paris, GHI Washington, IAAS HU Berlin) are possible destinations for a research stay.

The mobility fellowship covers the travel costs and a daily stipend for living expenses abroad, the amount depends on the chosen location. Details can be found in the fellowship guidelines.

Mobility fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis. Applications are to be submitted electronically through the online platform. They need to include a CV, a description of the research project, planned dates, the names of possible collaborating partners at the host institution and one letter of reference.

The application deadline is November 30, 24:00 CET.
