The NATO Defense College currently offers eight fellowships each year in the field of defense and security policy research related to NATO and its partners. The objective is to promote research and political consulting in areas of particular interest to the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC), to NATO’s partners in the Partnership for Peace (PfP) and to NATO’s Mediterranean Dialogue (MD) partners and Other Military Cooperation (OMC) / Partners Across the Globe (PAG).

This year, Two Fellowships are available for candidates from PfP countries, two for candidates from MD countries, two for candidates from NATO countries, and one for a candidate from an OMC/PAG Country. The duration of each fellowship is four months. The fellow will be located at the NATO Defense College, in Rome, Italy.

Beside the quality of the research proposal, very important in order to be selected will be the academic qualifications of the candidate, professional experience and publication record.
