Fellowship Program

BRIDGE offers Fellows, Senior Fellows, and Advisory Council members a meaningful, flexible, and high-impact platform to contribute to the region’s most urgent challenges. Fellows gain direct access to a dynamic, multi-disciplinary network of peers, decision-makers, and practitioners from across the Bay of Bengal region and beyond.

All fellows are featured on the BRIDGE website and in select regional publications. They have priority access to participate in BRIDGE-hosted events, such as the Bengal Dialogue Series and BRIDGE Policy & Systems Labs. Fellows may also receive support for publishing their work through BRIDGE’s research and policy channels.

Senior Fellows and members of the Advisory Council are offered opportunities to shape BRIDGE’s strategic direction, mentor emerging leaders, and contribute to high-level dialogues. They may be invited to serve as lead facilitators, authors, or advisors for flagship initiatives. Honoraria and travel stipends are available for select contributions, and all fellows receive formal recognition for their engagement.

BRIDGE provides a purpose-driven community where thought leadership meets real-world action; BRIDGE aims to facilitate and amplify fellows’ voice, ideas, and influence across the region.
