IASC Fellowship Program
The International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), in cooperation with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation (FPA2) and the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS), is launching its IASC Fellowships Program 2026. The IASC Fellowship Program is meant to engage early career researchers in the work of the five IASC Working Groups (WGs): Atmosphere Working Group (AWG), Cryosphere Working Group (CWG), Marine Working Group (MWG), Social & Human Working Group (SHWG) Terrestrial Working Group (TWG) Indigenous Fellows will also be invited to join the IASC Standing Committee on Indigenous Involvement (SCII) throughout their Fellowship period. In total, 8 IASC Fellowships will be offered for 2026: Six IASC Fellowships: five regular IASC Fellowships: one Fellow for each of the five IASC Working Groups. one IASC Indigenous Fellowship: for an early career Arctic Indigenous Scholar or Knowledge Holder Two IASC-FPA2 Fellowships, generously funded by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation (PA2F) as part of the Polar Initiative: one IASC-FPA2 Indigenous Fellowship for an early career Arctic Indigenous Scholar or Knowledge Holder. one IASC-FPA2 Science Diplomacy Fellowship for an early career researcher with an interest / background in science diplomacy. IASC Fellows are early career researchers who actively participate in selected activities of the IASC WGs. Fellows are expected to contribute scientifically and also to help organize specific activities and to help with reporting to the IASC Secretariat. Thus, the Fellowship Program provides the opportunity for early career researchers to become involved in leading-edge scientific activities at a circum-Arctic and international level, to build an international network, and also to develop management skills. The level of involvement very much depends on the Fellow's interest - the more you invest, the more you get out of it! The total duration of the IASC Fellowship Program is 1+2 years: First year: the Fellows will receive travel support to attend two consecutive Arctic Science Summit Weeks (ASSWs) where the annual IASC WG meetings are held. Second and Third Year (optional): Fellows have the opportunity to stay involved in their IASC WG for up to two additional years without dedicated funding support from IASC. Important Note: The travel support during the first Fellowship year is the only financial remuneration for the Fellows. Salary is not included during the Fellowship. The IASC Fellowship Coordinator Armina Soleymani will hold an IASC Fellowships 2026 Information Session for those interested in applying to the Fellowships on 26 September 2026 from 16:00 - 17:00 GMT.
