BCDSS Fellowship Programs

Our Fellowship Programs invite excellent researchers from all over the world and build up an international network of experts in the fields of slavery and Strong Asymmetrical Dependencies (SADs). 

All our Fellowship Programs offer more than funding and involvement in all research activities of the BCDSS. They comprise a monthly stipend (graded according to status group), travel allowance (for outward and return journey), a lump sum for accommodation in addition to the stipend, and a working space. Furthermore, fellows can apply for funding and administrative support for organizing an event (workshop, conference, etc.) at the BCDSS.
