The Nippon Foundation Fellowships for Asian Public Intellectuals (API Fellowships) is inviting applications. The API Fellowship Programme is open to academics, researchers, media professionals, artists, creative writers, NGO activists, social workers, public servants and others with moral authority — who are committed to work for the betterment of society by applying their professional knowledge, wisdom, and experience.
The API Fellowship Program will give these public leaders the opportunity to learn what their counterparts are doing in different cultural and ethnic contexts, generate theoretical ideas to cope with social and economic changes, and build the intellectual networks of the future.
Within broad themes for the intellectual, cultural, and professional
projects, successful applicants will be required to:
- Propose and carry out research projects and/or professional activities in a participating country/ies other than their native country or country of residence;
- Conduct research projects and/or professional activities in compliance with the fellowship schedule approved by the International Selection Committee;
- Attend the API Workshop to share their fellowships results/outputs as well as to engage and interact with other API Fellows on various issues and concerns confronting the region;
- Disseminate their findings and results to a wider audience; and
- Pursue a deeper knowledge of each other, and hence of the region.
