Heinrich Böll Foundation Green Foreign Policy Fellowship

The Heinrich Böll Foundation’s (hbs) Thessaloniki Office is pleased to announce the first iteration of the Green Foreign Policy Fellowship.

Tfellowship aims to support scholars, practitioners and experts from across the world to galvanize these critical discussions, provide space, access and experience in the realm of progressive foreign & security policy. The programme will focus critically on how to best advance a green foreign & security policy, elaborating on the points of reference found and exploring new pathways in this process. The fellowship will cover participants’ travel and accommodation costs to attend relevant events, it will provide a stipend during the first semester when material will mainly be produced, while supporting the presentation of the participants’ work along with networking activities during the second semester.

The key objectives of this fellowship opportunity are:

To provide a learning and networking experience for emerging thinkers in green foreign policy and progressive foreign & security policy narrative more broadly. As a result, participants will be better able to pursue their policy, research and advocacy aims and tap into a global network of like-minded change-makers;
To enable a more data-based and cross-regional debate on green foreign policy and progressive foreign & security policy more broadly;
To serve as a mechanism through which emerging progressive thinkers can identify issues that require further debate and/or advocacy, and where exchange between relevant actors can be facilitated.
To produce new material and codify data for practical, complete and convincing foreign & security policy alternatives to the realist approach in international relations.

Please note that Early Birds’ applications dated up to the 15th of May will be prioritised in the selection procedure.
