Call for Applications: Åland Peace Fellow 2026

The Åland Islands Peace Institute invites applications for the Åland Peace Fellowship for a funded research stay of approximately two months during 2026. We are seeking a Peace Fellow with documented interest in questions of territorial autonomy. Working experience from an autonomous region is considered a merit.

In addition, opportunities to present research at a public seminar for a local audience and to publish in the Institute’s report series can be discussed.
