Deadline: 10 July 2016
The East Asia Institute (EAI) based in Seoul, South Korea, is currently inviting applications for its Fellows Program on Peace, Governance, and Development in East Asia with an aim to provide opportunities for East Asia specialists in the area of social sciences, which include political science, international relations, sociology, public policy, and so forth, to conduct research and interact with scholars and students of the countries they visit.
The Program is designed to give the Fellows the flexibility required to bring out the best of their expertise in seminars and lectures.

The Partner Institutions are the East Asia Institute in Seoul, Fudan University in Shanghai, Keio University in Tokyo, National Taiwan University in Taipei, and Peking University in Beijing.
