Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity 2027-28

The Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity (AFSEE) programme is recruiting its eleventh cohort of social-change leaders who work to tackle inequality. It is based at the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and the page describes it as fully funded.

Who can apply

The call invites policymakers, researchers, activists, practitioners, artists and movement-builders from around the world. The page states no nationality restriction. The fellowship is aimed at mid-career people with at least seven years of experience in challenging inequalities. Work on any field of social and economic equity is accepted, including economic and social rights, environmental justice, tax justice, housing, labour rights, public policy, community organising and peacebuilding.

What the fellowship offers

There are two tracks. Residential fellows spend one year in London taking the MSc in Inequalities and Social Science at LSE, together with four fellowship modules. Non-residential fellows stay in their home countries and work contexts, build a practice-based project, and join the modules online and in person; they receive a Postgraduate Certificate in Social and Economic Equity on completion. After the active year, fellows become Senior Fellows and join the wider Atlantic Fellows community.

Deadline

Applications close at 5.00pm GMT on 11 January 2027, and late applications are not accepted. You can also register your interest on the programme page to receive updates.
