The fellowship programme is currently only offered by the Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies (BICC) and the Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies at the University of Osnabrück (IMIS).
Below, you can find a description of both of the institutes.
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.
