Visiting Research Fellows

The Research Institute for the Evaluation of Public Policies (IRVAPP) at the Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK) is a leader in applied research and program evaluation, conducting independent research and working closely with governments and institutions in Italy and internationally.

IRVAPP’s work is driven by continual exchange with other institutes and contexts. As part of this, we warmly invite public policy researchers to take up a Visiting Research Fellowship at the Centre. Fellowships can last between one and six months and are based in the IRVAPP office in Trento, Italy.

Fellows

We welcome experienced researchers at academic institutions or research centers working on public policy or related fields.

Fellows have the opportunity to be involved in all of the Center’s seminars, workshops, conferences, presentations, and events. Fellows are also invited to propose and lead such sessions in their areas of expertise. Aside from the Fellow’s own projects, there is ample opportunity for collaboration within and outside the Center.

IRVAPP will provide Fellows with access to its technological and academic resources and comfortable desk space for the duration of the Fellowship. During this time, Fellows are expected to play an active role in the life of the Center, contributing to the innovative and collaborative environment. IRVAPP cannot provide funding for living expenses or accomodation but can offer logistical support with finding temporary accommodations for up to two months or longer term solutions, as well as to obtain a visa, if needed. There are some opportunities for travel funding, please inquire if needed.
