Visiting and Honorary Fellows of the Institute

Visiting Research Fellows at the Institute

The British Institute of International and Comparative Law welcomes applications from Visiting Research Fellows to conduct their own research whilst based in London. The objectives of the Visiting Research Fellowship are to provide experienced, highly regarded, academics with an opportunity to have a base in London to carry out independent research work - which need not be directly connected with the Institute's ongoing research programme although must be within the broad mission and subject areas of the Institute - whilst benefiting from working in proximity with the Institute's permanent research staff.

Visiting Research Fellows are provided for the duration of their stay with a computer, a BIICL email address, and free attendance at BIICL events. In return, a small 'bench fee' of £100 a month is charged.

To apply for a Visiting Research Fellowship, in the first instance please email the following information to the Institute and Membership Secretary, Ruth Eldon, at r.eldon@biicl.org:

  • A brief biographical note;
  • A brief summary of the research you intend to carry out whilst at BIICL;
  • A short reference from an academic institution, professional body or similar;
  • The proposed length of stay.

All applications will be assessed by the Institute's Director.

Current Visiting Fellows of the Institute are as follows:
