Description
The newly launched De Chastelain Scholarship Programme, supported by the Governments of Ireland and Canada, offers awards of up to CAD $16,500 to support short research visits (3–6 weeks) between Canada and Ireland.
The programme is open to researchers and academics across all disciplines. While it is framed around peace and reconciliation, this is understood in its broadest sense — including the wider systems that underpin stable, thriving societies (e.g. governance, health, environment, culture, technology, and more).
Eighteen scholarships will be awarded each year, and through a single application process, awards are made to both Emerging Scholars (within seven years of PhD) and Established Scholars, with a significant proportion reserved for emerging researchers.
The deadline for applications is 11 May, and full details are available here:
