FFVT Fellowship programme: Overview terms of funding
FFVT-Fellowships include the stay at one or more of the participating institutes, travel expenses for a return travel to the host institute as well as travel between cooperating institutes, and monthly stipends covering living costs.
Due to the different legal structures of the institutes terms of payment vary between the project partners. The following overview serves as a first orientation for fellowship applicants.
BICC
The Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies (BICC) is an interdisciplinary, non-university research institute of Peace and Conflict Studies. One of its key areas of research is the interrelationship between forced displacement and civil wars. BICC conducts empirical research on internally displaced people's and refugees' mobility- and survival strategies as well as on their transnational networks. We 'follow' the refugees in our research, focusing on displaced people in regions of civil war (Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East, Afghanistan/Pakistan), in zones of transit as well as in Germany. We also look into causes of displacement, forced immobility and approaches to protracted displacement. In the framework of these topics, BICC also conducts research on topics, such as the nexus between humanitarian aid and development cooperation, on border regimes and governance as well as the political economy of forced displacement, integration and employment. Our insights gained in this field are based on intensive fieldwork that captures the prospects and practices of refugees.
