Previous Fellows

A key resource for the Afghanistan programme is our Afghan Research Fellows. The fellowships have the format of one-year scholarships, where incumbents are supported in conducting individual research, supported by mentors and with access to the RWI library and related resources. The fellows also play the role as experts and contribute as such both in RWI activities and in external forums.

RWI Research fellows are selected through a thorough, independent process, where a committee reviews all applications against qualification criteria set out in the advertisement of the open call for applications, and with a view to ensure as wide representation as possible in terms of gender and ethnic groups.
