Deadline: May 31, 2025

The Hague Program on International Cyber Security invites researchers and professionals with an interest and/or background in international cyber security at any stage of their career (from early-career researchers to established professionals) to apply for one of their visiting fellowships to conduct research and fieldwork, exchange with the program and with The Hague policy community, and present their research to a wider audience.

They aim to be an independent and inclusive platform, welcoming experts across the world to cooperate with us when it comes to their research and other work on international cybersecurity.

Selected visiting fellows can join them during the Fall or Spring semester for short research visits of 1 to 3 weeks at Leiden University’s The Hague Campus. The fellowships cover travel and accommodation expenses.
