2024 Chatham House Academy Fellowship (Richard and Susan Hayden)

The Richard and Susan Hayden Initiative is offering the Chatham House Academy Fellowship to candidates from all nationalities for a study opportunity in the UK.

The Richard and Susan Hayden Fellowship offers a monthly stipend of £2,365 while helping fellows develop their skills through the leadership programme, and furthering their professional network in the field of international affairs.

This fellowship is a joint initiative with Richard and Susan Hayden. It offers candidates at the early-to-mid-stage of their career the opportunity to spend ten months at Chatham House working on an individual research project of their choosing.

• possess knowledge of, and an interest in, international affairs, their chosen area of research, and Chatham House’s mission and research.
