The Global Innovation Fellowship Programme is designed to strengthen collaboration between UK researchers and international policy institutions.
The programme provides UK-based researchers with the opportunity to be embedded within the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) at its Berlin offices. Rather than functioning as a conventional academic visiting fellowship, the programme focuses on knowledge mobilisation, policy translation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovative approaches to real-world policy challenges.
Fellows are expected to contribute research-informed analysis that can support German and European decision-makers while developing their professional skills, networks, and understanding of policy environments.
Awards of up to £150,000 for 12 months can cover eligible costs associated with the fellowship.
Supported costs can include:
The award is made to the applicant’s UK-based institution, rather than paid directly to the individual researcher.
Applicants must meet the programme’s requirements for career stage, residence, employment, and research background.
Eligible applicants must:
The UK institution must also be an approved organisation within the British Academy’s grant management system.
