About IBRO/IBE-UNESCO Science of Learning Fellowships 2024

Opportunity Details

The fellows will be hosted at IBE–UNESCO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, so they can learn about policymaking in an international context, as well as receive support with policy vocabulary and messages.

A separate contract with each fellow will be signed between the fellow and IBE–UNESCO to cover the duration of their IBRO/IBE-UNESCO Science of Learning (SoL) Fellowship.

IBRO and IBE–UNESCO cannot arrange accommodation, visas, insurance, travel or other related logistics. This will be the responsibility of the fellow to organize. Each fellow will be provided with his/her own office, including a computer, desk and internet access.

Expected deliverables:

  • Six written briefs (max. 5 pages each; 2 every month) to re-articulate research on neuroscience in an accessible language, with explicit implications for policy and practice.
  • Give an IBE talk on own research project or on any other relevant topic on neuroscience and education.
  • Liaise with the other SoL fellows and the IBE staff.
  • Discuss possible participation in various UNESCO IBE and IBRO projects (e.g., Handbook on Curriculum and Learning, conferences and other events, etc.).
