MENA Non-Resident Fellowship

The MENA Non-Resident Fellowship is a one-year international research and collaboration programme organized by the Social Sciences Lab – MENA (SSL–MENA). It brings researchers together in small groups to develop shared research agendas, produce academic and policy-oriented outputs, and foster longer-term collaboration focused on MENA-related issues. Fellows affiliate with SSL–MENA for one year, participate in dedicated research tracks, and receive opportunities to develop joint papers and further research collaborations.

One-year affiliation with the Social Sciences Lab – MENA; access to research funding schemes; opportunities to develop joint papers and policy-oriented outputs; mentorship and guidance from experienced scholars; support in identifying future funding opportunities in Estonia and the European Union; continued engagement with the SSL–MENA research community after the fellowship period.

Open to researchers and scholars who work on, or have a demonstrated research interest in, MENA-related issues.
