Policy Leaders Fellowships 2024

At the Florence School of Transnational Governance (STG), mid-career policy professionals from a variety of policy fields—politics, civil service, media, non-governmental organizations, and others—can apply for the Policy Leader Fellowship (PLF), a residential program. The fellows in this exclusive program, which is located within one of the most esteemed academic institutions in Europe, get an intimate look at how EU policy is made. The program, however, does not require a background in academics; rather, it aims to draw applicants with a variety of real-world governing experiences. In addition to having direct access to the STG and the teaching and researcher community at EUI, the fellows develop enduring professional and interpersonal relationships and learn from one another.
