Youth Research Fellowship
Full-time 12–24 month research positions for Nepali scientists and engineers. Real research. Real stipend. Real publications.
Planned
Audience: Nepali scientists and engineers
Education programme
A reason to do science in Nepal
The Youth Research Fellowship is a full-time, paid research position for Nepali scientists and engineers at the start of their careers — not an internship. Fellows own real projects, co-author publications, and are mentored toward serious work. The explicit goal is to make staying in Nepal a compelling scientific choice, an alternative an overseas PhD has to compete with.

Built for equity
Fellowship selection works explicitly to reduce barriers for women and underrepresented candidates — equity is structural, not symbolic.
