FIME invites non-resident scholars to join its research community. Non-resident scholars are appointed by the Board of the Foundation of the Finnish Institute in the Middle East. When inviting researchers, in addition to academic merit, the applicant’s possible networks and scholar-at-risk-status are taken into account. The term for a non-resident scholar lasts one year, but it can be extended.
