[ANPPOM-Lista] African Studies Centre, Leiden, Visiting Fellowship Programme

[Carlos Palombini]

Visiting Fellowship Programme

The ASC Leiden hosts visiting research fellows in the framework of the Leiden
African Studies Assembly (Leiden ASA)
<http://www.ascleiden.nl/content/leiden-asa>, a network for cooperation
between Leiden based Africanists. Visiting research fellows use their time
in Leiden for data analysis and/or writing, often on a joint project with
one or more ASCL staff members and with Africanists at other institutes or
faculties of Leiden University. A visiting research fellowship is for a
maximum of 90 days.

On occasion, the ASCL hosts self financed visitors
<http://www.ascleiden.nl/content/visiting-fellowship-programme#Self
financed visitors> (PhD students or visiting academics).

Apart from the regular visiting research fellowship programme, the ASCL
also offers a joint fellowship programme with the IIAS (International
Institute for Asian Studies). Read more about the fellowship programme with
