The IASH-Alwaleed Research Fellowship is intended to encourage outstanding interdisciplinary research, international scholarly collaboration, and networking activities of Visiting Research Fellows together with academics in the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Centre for the Study of Islam in the Contemporary World. Fellows are expected to be residents in Edinburgh throughout the tenure of their Fellowship and to play a full part in the activities of IASH and the Alwaleed Centre. These fellowships are usually for a duration of one semester (3-4 months), and are usually funded at approximately £2,000-£3,500 as a contribution towards additional living costs, and/or travel grants of up to £500.
