John Smith Fellowship Programme 2011

The John Smith Memorial Trust is inviting applications to participate in the John Smith Fellowship Programme 2011 to take place over four weeks in June/July next year.

Applications for Fellowships are invited from the following countries:

Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine

The Fellowship aim to strengthen and deepen awareness of good governance through a four week programme in the UK and placements that show the workings of organisations within a long established democracy. Selection is based on a combination of the leadership potential of the applicant and the quality of the action plan they propose. Action plans are pieces of work or policy problems which the Fellows want to explore while in the UK. The “ideal” candidate will be aged 25-40, working in politics, local administration, business, the media, the arts or civil society, with a track record of achievement in the area of good governance and public service.

Further information about recruitment criteria, application details and deadlines can be obtained from the Trust's website
