Applications are now open for the second edition of the Global Scholars Academy, due to take place from in Budapest, Hungary from July 18–22, 2022 at the Central European University. The workshop is co-hosted by the Graduate Institute along with Harvard Law School’s Institute for Global Law and Policy. Drawing on the interdisciplinary resources and global networks of both institutions, this venture aims to strengthen the next generation of scholars by placing them in conversation with their global peers and strengthening their ability to rethink a global architecture ill-equipped to deal with the world’s most urgent challenges, from global poverty, inequality and injustice to conflict, migration and environmental change.

The 2022 Academy will include thematic mini-courses, plenary lectures, and writing workshops. Its program is designed to strengthen academic and professional skills in presenting research, developing curricular materials and participating in global scholarly dialogue. Writing workshops will offer participants the opportunity to receive detailed, valuable feedback on their research from their peers and senior colleagues in small group settings.

The Academy is open by application to advanced junior scholars working to understand and map the levers of political, economic, and legal authority in the world today. We particularly welcome applications from scholars from the Global South and those working on policy challenges of concern to communities in the Global South. Preference will be given to scholars who are up to 5 years post-PhD and currently hold postdoctoral posts or faculty positions. Exceptional doctoral candidates in the final phase of their dissertation are also encouraged to apply.
