About The Program

The Brandon Research Fellowship is intended to cover a stay of at least 11-13 weeks at the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law and has a maximum value of £4,500 (GBP); any additional travel or other expenses will be the responsibility of the selected Fellow. The Fellowship is tenable between October 2016 and September 2017. Two awards may be made if the strength of the field warrants it.
