AGI Visiting Fellows Program 2023

AGI is now accepting applications for in-residence Visiting Fellows.

The AGI Visiting Fellows Program is designed to provide scholars and specialists with a base while conducting their research in Washington, DC. Visiting Fellows should be working on issues related to the AGI mission, which is to better understand the challenges and choices facing Germany and the United States in a broader global arena. Visiting Fellows must be self-financed and can be in-residence at AGI for anywhere between one month to one year. Applications are accepted year round.

Visiting Fellows’ research projects should fit under one or more of the Institute’s three research and programming areas:

1. Geoeconomics
2. Foreign and Domestic Policy
3. Society, Culture & Politics

Within these three program areas, AGI focuses on specific projects that address emerging issues relevant to a changing transatlantic relationship. Visiting Fellows who are working on similar issues may benefit particularly from a research stay at AGI. The Program, however, accepts fellows working on a variety of topics.

With its location in Washington, DC, providing access to policymakers, universities, think tanks, and the Library of Congress as well as other resources, AGI offers the ideal location for researchers. AGI has a wide network of academics and policymakers and its professional staff and fellows provide in-house expertise. AGI Visiting Fellows are an integral part of the AGI community and are encouraged to participate in AGI projects and events and contribute to the Institute’s targeted analysis newsletter, The AGI Advisor. Depending on the quality of the Visiting Fellows’ research results and the nature of the project, AGI will provide opportunities for public presentations to the broader Washington policy and academic communities.

The Visiting Fellows Program is open to all nationalities. Fellows are responsible for their own travel and living costs while in Washington, DC. In addition, Visiting Fellows must cover the use of office space at AGI and incidentals, such as phone/supplies/postage. Foreign nationals must be eligible to travel to the U.S.
