European University Institute welcomes applications from applicants from anywhere in the world, regardless of nationality to the 2023 Policy Leader Fellowship program.
The Policy Leader Fellowship (PLF) is a residential program for mid-career policy professionals from a range of policy fields: politics, civil service, media, non-governmental organizations, and others. This unique program is hosted at one of the most renowned academic institutions in Europe and provides the fellows with an insider view into the EU policy-making processes. However, the program does not require academic training background and instead seeks to attract individuals with diverse hands-on experiences in policy-making worldwide. Besides having direct access to the EUI and the STG faculty as well as the researcher’s community, the fellows learn from each other and form lasting professional and personal connections.
