BACKGROUND
The International Association of Universities (Building a Worldwide Higher Education Community) is happy to announce that applications are open for UG faculty to apply to the Rockefeller Bellagio Academic Residency Programme taking place at the Bellagio Centre. The Bellagio Centre is located in Northern Italy on the shores of Lake Como in Bellagio. This residency programme is for university and think tank-based academics, researchers, professors, and scientists working in any discipline.
PURPOSE OF THE SCHEME
The Center has a strong interest in proposals that align with The Rockefeller Foundation’s efforts to promote the well-being of humanity. Particularly through issues that have a direct impact on the lives of poor and vulnerable populations around the world. These issues include but are not limited to health, economic opportunity, urban resilience, as well as food and agriculture.
Currently, the Center has a heightened focus on enabling individuals and organizations that are shaping, thinking, and catalyzing action around the Foundation’s strategic goals. The organization convenes prominent experts, influencers, and other key stakeholders to advance knowledge, form new partnerships, financial commitments, and initiatives that support these goals thus enabling the Bellagio Center to advance the mission of the Foundation as a complement to its grant-making efforts.
