Global South Fellowship Program

Aims of the Scheme

The aim of the scheme is to enable visiting fellows to gain insight into the organisation and conduct of research, training, and administration at the University of Birmingham and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Additionally, it promotes research collaboration, partnership development, and further collaboration with the Global South. We welcome applications in subject areas related to education access and equity, global health, and sustainability and climate action. However, there is some flexibility around this. 

Funding and accommodation

The scheme will provide each visiting fellow with travel expenses of up to £850 and a monthly stipend of £1500 for up to three months to help cover living expenses and accommodation. On campus accommodation can be booked on fellows' behalf and the cost deducted from the stipend, however there is no guarantee that University accommodation will be available during the fellowship. Further information on private accommodation options and support with organising accommodation is available upon request.
