The British Academy is inviting qualified early/mid-career researchers to apply for the Official Development Assistance (ODA) Global Innovation Fellowships.
The objective of the Official Development Assistance (ODA) Global Innovation Fellowships is to provide opportunities to UK-based early- and mid-career researchers from across the humanities and social sciences to develop their skills, networks and careers in the creative and cultural, public, private and policy sectors to address challenges that require innovative approaches and solutions. Through the ODA Global Innovation Fellowships, researchers in the SHAPE community will be supported to create new and deeper links beyond academia, so enabling knowledge mobilisation and translation, as well as individual skills development.

• Objective:
The fellowship aims to provide opportunities for UK-based early- and mid-career researchers from the humanities and social sciences to develop their skills, networks, and careers in creative, cultural, public, private, and policy sectors.

Researchers will address challenges requiring innovative approaches and solutions, particularly in areas like cities, climate, housing, health, and a green and JUST transition.
• Host Organization:
Fellows will embed themselves in the C40 office in South Africa, a global network of nearly 100 mayors committed to addressing the climate.
