Subject matter specialists on defined research terms.
Visiting Fellows are appointed for defined terms to contribute to specific research projects or executive education programs — typically practitioners or scholars with specialized expertise relevant to a specific Institute workstream.
Visiting Fellow appointments are the Institute's most flexible research relationship — designed for subject matter specialists whose expertise is highly relevant to a specific ongoing project but who are not available for or interested in the longer-term commitment of other fellowship categories. Visiting appointments are typically 6–12 months and tied to a specific research output or program.
Fellowship appointments are made by invitation. To inquire about this appointment category, contact the Institute directly with a brief statement of your domain expertise and research or practitioner background.
