Deadline: January 15, 2023
Applications are open for the Global Sustainability Scholars Fellowship Programme 2023. The GSS Fellows programme offers a 10-week paid immersive training and mentoring with a global sustainability organization.
Fellows will gain professional work experience, receive professional mentorship and professional development training, and build an international professional network in sustainability science. The programme will accept 10 fellows per year to join the GSS community, provide advanced professional development training, and build professional connections that foster opportunities for employment and/or graduate school opportunities.
Fellows will work with sustainability organizations such as Belmont Forum research projects or Future Earth projects focused on OCEAN sustainability. Each fellowship may provide different opportunities and experiences, however, all Fellows will have a core curriculum and a GSS mentor. GSS Fellowships may meet graduate school requirements as professional internships, so be sure to make proper arrangements with the GSS programme director prior to acceptance.
