Policy Fellowships
CAPE Policy Fellowships help to build and strengthen partnerships between researchers and policy professionals. The Fellowships are available for both researchers to undertake work in policy organisations and also for policy professionals to spend time with universities. With our fellowship programmes, we are building on existing practice amongst member universities, funders and policy organisations to test a range of models for Policy Fellowships.
Fellowships for policy professionals
The CAPE policy fellow programme was a flexible professional development programme which offered access to leading researchers across a range of disciplines at the CAPE partner universities, to support the development of evidence-informed policy, offer innovative career development pathways, and foster collaboration between academics and policy professionals.
