Mass migration due to political instability and climate crises, the growing wave of right-wing populism and authoritarianism affecting political systems and international cooperation worldwide, and the disruptive effects of digitalisation and new technologies on all aspects of life are central challenges facing international public policy today. In today’s rapidly changing global environment, safeguarding fundamental human rights faces many challenges. The Human Rights Scholarship is aimed at students interested in protecting human rights in the context of global governance and politics.
