The Fellowship Experience
Fellows at the Belfer Center are at the heart of our academic community.
What to Expect
We encourage our Fellows to present their research within and outside the Center, collaborate on papers or projects with other fellows and faculty, and attend and take an active role in Belfer Center seminars and conferences.
We also hope that fellows will immerse themselves in the greater University community during their appointment, throughout the Harvard Kennedy School and beyond.
In most cases, Fellows move to Cambridge, Boston, or the surrounding suburbs for their ten-month appointment. Belfer Center fellows have access to all Harvard University facilities including libraries, gym memberships, and many activity discounts.
