Raisina Young Fellows Programme 2027 (Fully-funded)

Deadline: November 2, 2026

Applications are open for the Raisina Young Fellows Programme 2027. The Raisina Young Fellows Programme convenes emerging leaders from around the world to discuss current political, economic, and social issues, with a particular focus on Asia. Fellows engage directly with senior political, business, and academic figures, gaining insights and building networks to contribute to global debates.

Participants will also be inducted as Raisina Young Fellows at the Raisina Dialogue, India’s flagship conference on geopolitics and geo-economics, co-hosted with the Ministry of External Affairs of India. Following the program, fellows join ORF’s active alumni network of more than 2,500 former participants in its governance programs, including ministers, CEOs, and party leaders.

This call is part of the strategic partnership between PCNS, ORF, and the Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI), through which each institution nominates outstanding individuals to participate in the other partners’ programs, fostering cross-regional dialogue and shared learning.
