Junior Associates

Overview

The International Relations and Security Network (ISN) Junior Associates program brings together young professionals from Swiss-based institutions, companies and international organizations and top advanced degree candidates from Swiss universities in a cooperative project that builds bridges and networks across the Swiss IR community.

The program was launched in 2010. In its first cycle, twelve Junior Associates and five experts from academia and government gathered in Zurich to discuss and develop new ideas about the relationship between Europe and the Islamic world. The Junior Associates continued their debate through a customized ISN online community platform, taking advantage of web-based tools to facilitate collaboration. In spring 2011, the resulting publications appeared on the ISN website in a series on ‘Europe and the Islamic World: New Frontiers, Fresh Perspectives’.

The next Junior Associates program will commence in 2012. Applications are not currently being accepted. Once the application process opens, the ISN will inform you via the website and our social media channels. Please continue checking back for updates.
