Kuwait Programme

Kuwait Academic Collaborations

Through the Kuwait Academic Collaborations, the Centre runs an open competition for Kuwait-based and ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ academics to form joint research teams for long-term collaborative research and capacity building on policy relevant challenges facing Kuwait today. 

ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-Kuwait Fellowships

Based in the London School of Economics’ Middle East Centre, or in one of ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳’s research centres or academic departments, the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-Kuwait Fellowships allow researchers based at academic or research institutions in Kuwait to visit ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ for three months in order to conduct research related to the Programme's thematic research interests and develop their research capacity and output. 

Visiting Appointments

The Middle East Centre welcomes applications for Visiting Fellowships on a rolling basis. Fellowships are mainly offered to researchers who will make a significant contribution to the work of the MEC. Fellowships may also be given to recognise or enable contributions to the MEC from those in journalism, government service, in professional practice, or in other appropriate fields. Please note that the MEC receives a high number of applications and is only able to support a very small proportion of these that fit best with the Centre’s research programmes and capacity. Visiting Fellowships are unpaid. PhD students are not eligible.
