The British Academy announces recipient of the Global Innovation Fellowship in partnership with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

The British Academy and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace have awarded £147,000 for a Fellowship as part of the Global Innovation Fellowships funding scheme.

The aim of the Global Innovation Fellowships is to provide opportunities to UK-based early- and mid-career researchers from across the SHAPE disciplines to develop their skills, networks and careers while addressing challenges that require innovative approaches and solutions.

This is the second call for this programme, offering the opportunity for the award holder to be based at Carnegie’s offices in the USA for one year. During this time they will be fostering a mutually beneficial partnership, enabling them to take advantage of fresh perspectives and expand their networks and reach.

The programme is supported under the UK Government’s International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF). The fund is managed by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and delivered by a consortium of the UK’s leading research and innovation bodies.
