Scholarships available for our 2021 winter academies

Ten scholarships are available to candidates based in low or lower-middle income countries to attend the Asser Institute’s online winter academies in January and February 2021.

In 2021, the Asser Institute will be hosting two winter academies. The first dedicated to the field of business and human rights and the second to the intersection between AI and international law. In this context, we invite interested candidates resident of low or lower-middle income countries (based on the World Bank’s classification) to apply for scholarships covering the tuition fees of the winter academies.
