The Resident Fellowship (or Visiting Fellowship) program is primarily designed to support students who are in the process of completing their PhD theses, though it is not limited to this group. Opportunities for post-doctoral researchers or non-degree fellows are also available.
The Non-Resident Fellowship is an exclusive program tailored for distinguished individuals seeking to engage with our Centre on a flexible, non-residential basis.

Visiting fellows are required to fulfill the following responsibilities:

This exercise will further encourage exchanges of views between the respected fellow and researchers or other scholars in CSIS. Detailed arrangement of the seminar can be made with CSIS staff
- Visiting fellows are required to be based in CSIS while conducting their fellowship. Should they need to conduct research-related activities outside of CSIS, these have to be consulted with the fellowship coordinator
