Future Leaders Fellows
Barbara Orth
University of Bern & Leibniz Institute for Research on Society and Space
The Bridging Divides Future Leaders Fellowship supports senior PhD candidates and early career postdocs in advancing bold, interdisciplinary migration research. Focused on the intersection of migration and advanced digital technologies, the year-long fellowship pairs fellows with senior scholars across the program's four thematic research areas.
Fellows begin with an in-person residency at 成人大片 to shape their research and build networks. Over the year, they pursue independent projects with structured mentorship, culminating in a peer-reviewed publication and international conference presentation. The program fosters scholarly collaboration, professional growth, and leadership in the future of migration research.

The Bridging Divides Journalism Fellowship focuses on the intersection of technology, innovation, and migration, providing a platform for journalists to explore how these forces shape the lives of immigrants worldwide. The fellowship promotes collaboration between researchers and journalists, enabling them to share evidence-based insights on how advancements in technology impact migration patterns, integration processes, and the experiences of migrants.
During their month-long residency at the Global Migration Institute in Toronto, fellows have the chance to conduct their own field research, collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of experts in migration studies and technology, and engage with local stakeholders. By combining cutting-edge research with hands-on reporting, this program aims to equip journalists with the tools to elevate their coverage of migration while driving forward innovative approaches to storytelling in the digital age.

Civil Society and Public Administration Fellows
The CERC Migration and Bridging Divides Civil Society & Public Administration Fellowship program welcomes practitioners from civil society organizations or government bodies who have international experience working in the field of migration or immigrant integration and inclusion to apply to participate in a one-month residency at 成人大片.
The fellowship promotes international collaboration and learning exchange between practitioners and researchers. It provides a unique professional development opportunity for practitioners to share and build on their field experience, connect to an expert team of Canadian and international researchers and local stakeholders, or conduct their own field research. The experience will help practitioners develop and bring back to their organizations innovative ideas for applied research and evidence-based good practices. At the same time, practitioners would be encouraged to contribute their perspectives to the work of the CERC Migration and Bridging Divides鈥 teams.
