Global MIT Launched this Fellows Program in 2023 as a two-year pilot, the Global MIT At-Risk Fellows Program (GMAF) gives international scholars the opportunity to temporarily engage with the MIT community on campus, with the aim to foster innovation around the world through the fellows’ academic contributions and leadership.
The GMAF pilot program, which initially focused on Ukrainian faculty, is expanding to bring , known as “GMAF fellows” to MIT. For each year of the pilot, MIT will select up to 5 Palestinian fellows, currently either in Palestine or recently displaced from Palestine. They will each spend a semester at MIT. The visiting scientist will be paired with an MIT faculty advisor in their field, who will act as collaborator and academic mentor.
MIT covers expenses including travel, accommodations, visas, health insurance, instructional materials, as well as a general living stipend.
The target date for the first GMAF-Palestine fellows to arrive at MIT is September 1, 2026.
