The German Association for Peace and Conflict Research (AFK) has opened this year’s call for applications for its programme supporting early career researchers from the Global South. The programme promotes equal opportunity, visibility, and epistemic justice within the international academic system: selected scholars present their work at the AFK Colloquium and complete a one-week research stay at a German host institution, accompanied by structured mentoring, individual matchmaking, and support with travel and visa arrangements. Applications close on 7 September 2026. More information and the call for applications is online.
