Research Exchange Cooperation for Academics in Belarus

In 2018, the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (Lund University, Sweden) and the Center for International Human Rights at the National University of Kiyv-Mohyla Academy offered the possibility of a research exchange for academics in Belarus to spend 1 month (1-31 of May) in Kiyv, Ukraine. The aim of the research exchange is to increase opportunities for targeted researchers in Belarus to produce quality human rights (including gender equality) research. The cooperation also aims to contribute to improved quality and increased availability of relevant academic research products on human rights (including gender equality) relevant to be used for public policy dialogue, formal and non-formal education. As a result of the research exchange it is expected that the successful candidate will write an academic paper on a human rights theme of relevance to the Belarusian context.
