Deadline: 15 March 2024
Applications are now open for the Elinor Ostrom Scholarship 2024-2025 . The Mercatus Center's Elinor Ostrom Fellowship is a competitive one-year fellowship programme awarded to doctoral students from any university and any discipline, including but not limited to economics, philosophy, political science and sociology.
The aim of this fellowship is to expose students to the themes of markets, culture, morality and sociability in the Austrian, Virginia and Bloomington schools of political economy and to provide them with the necessary tools to use this framework in academic research that explores these themes. Elinor Ostrom Fellows spend three weekends during the academic year participating in colloquia at these three schools of political economy. Fellows will join a network of Mercatus students, alumni and academics who are conducting and engaged in cutting-edge research in contemporary political economy.
