The API Fellowships
The API Fellowships enable public intellectuals in
The API Fellowships are fully funded by The Nippon Foundation.
The Fellowships' primary aims are to promote mutual learning among Asian public intellectuals and contribute to the growth of the wider public spaces in which effective responses to regional needs can be generated.
The API Senior Fellowship and the API Fellowship are open to academics, media professionals, artists, NGO, activists, social workers, public servants and others with moral authority who are working to shape public opinion and influence policy in their societies. The Fellowships will give these intellectual 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 change, and build the intellectual networks of the future.
Within broad themes for the intellectual, cultural, and professional projects determined by the API Executive Committee, Fellows will be required to:
- Propose and carry out a project of research and/or professional activities in a participating country or countries other than their native country or country of permanent residence;
- Conduct research and/or professional activities in compliance with the fellowship schedule accepted by the International Selection Committee;
- Attend the API Workshop to exchange results of their research and/or professional activities with other Fellows;
- Disseminate their findings and results to a wider audience;
- Pursue a deeper knowledge of each other, and hence the region.
The themes for research and/or professional activities will be determined and reconsidered periodically in response to social needs by the API Executive Committee. The Themes for the fellowship year 2001-2007 are:
