Visiting scholar programme

Visiting Scholars are housed at the Majlis El Hassan and provided with office space together at the WANA Institute for 2-6 month placements.

Visiting scholars are selected on the basis of their capacity to bring unique expertise, insight and experience to a specific research project. The scholars advance the work of the WANA Institute by mentoring and advising a research project team, as well as authoring or co-authoring a number of short academic pieces, providing keynote addresses, and participating in other stakeholder events. It is expected that their presence will advance the reputation and outreach of the WANA Institute, enhance the quality of its outputs, improve research methodologies, and facilitate new partnerships with the visiting scholar’s institution.
