Fellowship at the Institute for National Security Studies (Tel Aviv)

The Israel Public Policy Institute (IPPI) offers young leaders from Germany an opportunity to participate in a Fellowship program in Israel in cooperation with the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) and the Heinrich Böll Foundation on the theme:

“Rethinking Security in the 21st Century: German-Israeli perspectives”.

The Fellowship program aims to explore contemporary security challenges while bringing together fresh perspectives from Israel and Germany and focusing on the less obvious aspects of the field of security, e.g. migration, humanitarian aid, environment, energy, technology, human rights, and gender.

The Fellows program will provide young public policy professionals with an opportunity to work alongside researchers at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv and gather first-hand experience in the field of international security.

As part of the program, the Fellows will be required to write a policy paper based on a research proposal; furthermore, the Fellows will be able to draw on the pool of partners of the IPPI and familiarize themselves with relevant actors in the country.

The program is intended for young leaders from Germany who are interested in the area of international security and who have already gathered relevant experience in the field.

We are looking for exceptional university graduates that will be integrated into the routine work of the Institute for National Security Studies as well as the Israeli office of the Heinrich Böll Foundation.

Over the course of the program, the selected fellow will be expected to complete the writing of a policy paper based on the submitted research proposal, which reflects the theme of the program, in addition to the fulfillment of routine tasks.

The program "Rethinking Security in the 21st Century: German-Israeli Perspectives" takes place in cooperation with the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) and the Heinrich Böll Foundation (HBS).
