Fellows Program

Collaborative Research Paper Award

Every year, the APRU Fellows Program (AFP) brings together some of the best scholars from various disciplines in APRU universities to exchange ideas and discussion on a thematic topic selected for the program. As a means of encouraging long term collaboration and scholarly reflection on the program, an award for the best collaborative research paper produced based on the core theme of the program was launched in 2004.

Format

The award will be given on a competitive basis. It is open to all APRU fellows who have participated in the program.  The paper must involve at least two APRU Fellows who are based in APRU universities in different economies. The topic can be from any discipline but must be related to that year's program theme. The text should not exceed 8000 words.

In writing their paper, participants are encouraged to draw on their observations and discussions during the course of the program and to apply it to their own research and academic background. The AFP program schedules have built in time for face-to-face discussions among the APRU fellows to seek out possible topics and collaborators for this exercise.

Value of Award

The value of the award is US$6000.  All submissions will also be considered for on-line publication on the APRU official website.
