The Fellowship Program is the world leading program for people dedicated to exploring critical scientific and social matters fellows. Fellows aimed to post-doctoral degrees include a team of devoted scientists from different countries.

The Earth Institute is the world’s researcher’s work towards a sustainable future, aimed mostly at the world of the poor. About 800 are working to stop hunger, disease and environmental problems, especially in countries having such problems as extreme poverty and the AIDS.

The Program gives the scientists a chance to create a foundation in one of the main disciplines within the Earth Institute and at the same time master the cross-disciplinary expertise and raising the abilities of those who need to go to a particular organization dealing with reducing world degradation, poverty, hunger and diseases.

The funding of the program is $12,000 for research aimed for two years, and the participants of the program get about $48,000 a year.

Applicants need to hand in a proposal for research in a core discipline or in a thematic field that is connected with the movement of The Earth Institute. The proposal should prove that the research will contribute a lot to the general development of the problems mentioned. Participants may take part in existing multidisciplinary Earth Institute conferences, or probably work on some project that suggests some modern ways out of the problem.

The plans will be looked through on the basis of the relevance of the proposed research and actuality of the methods.

Scientists submitted by December 1 will take part in the program that starts in the summer or fall next year. The offers will be ready by spring.

Minorities and women can also take part in the program.
