Threatened Scholars Integration Initiative

Fellowships

TSII Fellowships help at-risk academics, students, researchers, and intellectuals to build long-term affiliations and collaborations across the Open Society University Network. Host institutions will prioritize the proactive integration and mentorship of threatened scholars who have been forced to seek alternative teaching, research, or advanced study positions outside their home countries,  as well as support those who cannot relocate. 

Fellowships involve teaching regular curriculum, seminars and network courses, and making contributions to institutional and independent research projects. In addition to actively engaging the Fellows in OSUN work, the Initiative will extend academic and professional development opportunities, including conferences, pedagogic workshops, research design and methods, presentation and publishing skills, as well as academic and public engagement.
