Intensive and demanding, the HIA Fellowship features daily lectures and discussions with renowned academics, journalists, politicians, and activists, as well as site visits to government agencies, non-profit organizations, museums and memorials. Participation requires a great deal of intellectual curiosity and stamina, as well as the ability to work effectively in international teams.

After the program, Fellows participate in the global alumni network of HIA Senior Fellows and can apply for special professional fellowship opportunities such as internship programs in the U.S. Congress and European Parliament.

Students of all academic disciplines, interests, and backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
