Chatham House, in partnership with the Robert Bosch Stiftung, hosts Fellows from among the countries of the Eastern Partnership and Russia.

The Fellowship is intended to provide an opportunity for the next generation of scholars from the region to advance their knowledge of post-Soviet politics, develop research skills, contribute to Chatham House research, and build links with policy and academic communities in the UK, Germany and the EU more broadly. The Fellowship is aimed at future leaders, researchers and opinion-makers in the early part of their careers.

The Fellows spend nine months working at Chatham House with the Russia and Eurasia Programme team. During this time they will conduct a research project of their own design relating to the politics, economies and societies of the post-Soviet region. In the course of the Fellowship, the scholars will conduct research trips to the region and also spend time at a German think tank in Berlin.

The Fellowships are part of Chatham House's new Academy for Leadership in International Affairs, which will be established in September 2013.
