Bridging Divides Scholars of Excellence

The Bridging Divides Scholars of Excellence program invites internationally recognized scholars from around the world to join the Bridging Divides program for one to three months. During their stay, scholars will engage with one of the Bridging Divides research themes while working at any of our four partner universities. They will deliver lectures and seminars, mentor graduate students and early-career scholars, and contribute to conferences, workshops and new research proposals.

This program brings diverse perspectives and expertise to Bridging Divides, fostering lasting connections among scholars at the intersection of innovation and migration studies and beyond. By expanding our global network, the Scholars of Excellence program enriches individual research and promotes collaborative understanding to address pressing global challenges.
