Applications for the 2023-2025 CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars program are now being accepted. Expand your network, collaborate across disciplines, and explore cutting-edge ideas with unrestricted research support. Join our community of international researchers addressing the most important questions facing science and humanity.
CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars join a CIFAR research program for two years, interacting within a global network of internationally renowned
researchers pursuing a fundamental research question. In the setting of twice-yearly program meetings, held in locations around the world (or virtually as travel restrictions dictate), CIFAR’s programs bridge disciplines, develop a common language, and regularly spark collaboration and inspiration that lead to new research directions and fields of inquiry.
The CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars program provides:
Interdisciplinary interactions
Pursuing the most exciting and important research questions requires scholars who can move beyond their own research areas to take a fresh look at a problem.
Leadership development
Excellent management and communication skills will be key to success in the demanding and competitive world of research.
Engagement in global communities
Tomorrow’s research leaders must effectively engage key stakeholders in their communities, in government, industry, or the general public to both inform and disseminate their work.
