Visiting Fellows (UNU-CRIS)

Visiting Fellows are “fellows-in-residence” who participate in the activities of UNU-CRIS.

The United Nations University Institute on Comparative Regional Integration Studies (UNU-CRIS) offers professors, researchers and professionals with a relevant background the opportunity to spend a research period in Bruges. Visiting Fellows conduct their own research on a topic related to the academic research programmes of the Institute, or contribute to the training and capacity-building initiatives linked to the broad area of global governance and/or regional integration.

Visiting Fellows are “fellows-in-residence” who participate in the activities of UNU-CRIS. They contribute to the research activities of the Institute and take part in seminars, workshops, conferences and other events. Visiting Fellows present their work at one of the research seminars bringing together researchers of the Institute and its partner institutions, and publish their research outputs in areas relevant to UNU-CRIS.
