India-Africa Security Fellowship Programme at MP-IDSA

Fellowship Details

MP-IDSA invites applications for Fellows from Africa to interact with India’s research community and to pursue research on topics that may enhance our understanding of security challenges in Africa or possibilities of enhancing India- Africa Security cooperation. The fellowship is an opportunity to enhance our mutual research capacities on strategic issues.

Scholars and researchers from reputed universities, think tanks, government officials, defence services officers and persons of eminence are welcome to apply.*

Fellows would be attached with MP-IDSA for a period of 1-3 months on a full-time basis.

During the course of the fellowship, Fellows would be required to produce an Occasional Paper or a joint research publication with a MP-IDSA scholar as co-authors.

Fellows may also write at least one commentary for online publication on the MP-IDSA website.
