OITS 2026 Policy Fellowship for UK Civil Servants (Academic Mentorship)
The OITS 2026 Policy Fellowship Programme offers UK-based civil servants and public officials a unique opportunity to enhance their policy expertise. Participants will collaborate with leading academics to develop research that informs better policymaking across government. This six-month fellowship aims to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and public policy implementation, ensuring that government decisions are backed by high-quality evidence.
Fellows will engage in policy-focused research under the guidance of academic mentors from respected UK universities, exploring various themes such as health, sustainability, technology, governance, and more. This initiative not only strengthens the relationship between academia and government but also fosters innovative thinking in public policy.
Eligibility
