Application Deadline: 30th April 2019
In 2012, the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) launched a
new initiative offering scholarships to researchers and education
professionals from UNESCO Member States. Research Scholarships generally
run every September, though under special circumstances, Scholarships
may run in other months. Research Scholars conduct their research at the
UIL Library for a period of one month. In addition, they have the
opportunity to exchange knowledge with other scholars, UIL staff and
UIL’s external partners. UIL covers travel and accommodation costs and
contributes a lump sum towards the costs of food, visas, etc.
Since the UIL Research Scholarship programme was launched in 2012, a total of 52 scholars have taken part.
Research Scholarships are funded by private donations. To date, donations have been kindly made by:
- the British educationalist Peter Jarvis and his publisher Taylor & Francis;
- the Nomura Centre for Lifelong Integrated Education in Japan; and
- the US educationalist Alexander Charters
Requirements:
Researchers and education professionals from UNESCO Member States who
work in the area of lifelong learning with a focus on adult education
and continuing education, literacy and non-formal basic education.
Participants are selected on the basis of their potential to produce:
- policy proposals;
- programme tools;
- articles; and
- research papers
that can be shared with decision-makers in their home countries.
