The Fellows Program is an international exchange program for scholars with expertise in peace, governance, and development in East Asia and is funded by the Japan Foundation, the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange of Taiwan, and YBM/KIS, an education institute of Korea.
The Fellows Program is designed to give the Fellows the flexibility required to bring out the best of their expertise in seminars and lectures. The EAI Fellows choose the subjects of their research within the broadly defined themes of peace, governance, and development in East Asia in order to make the visit an integral part of their on-going projects.
Eligibility:
Application is open to tenured, tenure-track as well as non-tenured East Asian professors based in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and other non-Asian regions, conducting research in the fields of political science, international relations, and sociology. Seminars and lectures will be conducted in English.
Grant: The Fellows Program provides ranging from $8,000 to $10,000 for each of the EAI Fellows. The grant covers an honorarium for the articles, seminars and lectures, as well as the cost of ground transportation, round-trip economy-class international air transportation, hotel accommodation, meals, and a per diem for a three-week stay in East Asia. The EAI and the Partner Institutions that the Fellows visit, will help in supporting the fellowship travel, including transportation, hotel accommodation, and other research activities.
Facilities: Each of the Partner Institutions chosen for a visit provides an office space with access to telephone, fax, and the Internet. The Fellows may stay at the Partner Institutions for research purposes after their seminars and lectures if there is available space at the Member Institutions. The Fellows will consult any extra stay schedule with their visiting institutions, and the EAI will coordinate between them.
Opportunities for Networking: Each of the Partner Institutions will invite major scholars of its country to expert seminars.
