The Third Cohort of ICI Fellows
The India China Institute’s signature India China Fellowship Program features a two-year fellowship for emerging leaders from India, China, and the United States, including academics, entrepreneurs, policy experts, politicians, artists, and journalists. Three cohorts of Fellows have participated in these programs over the the past five years. The programs include at least three intensive residencies of one to two weeks each, held in the United States, India, and China, that focus on the study of specific global issues from a trilateral perspective. These residencies aim to stimulate intellectual exchange and knowledge building, with the goal of producing jointly researched policy papers and building a close-knit community of reflective practitioners and active scholars.
In addition to these residencies, fellows of the program actively exchange ideas and information through the pages of ICI’s publications, on its interactive web space, and at roundtable discussions and conferences around the world. The fellowship program thus provides a sustainable mechanism of interaction for its core participants—scholars, practitioners, and decision-makers—through academic, financial, and professional support. It provides them the academic space, the information, and the tools needed to formulate reasoned and effective policies.
