About IPF
The International Policy Fellowships (IPF) program identifies and supports individuals advancing innovative policy research in areas relevant to open society. The program also seeks to strengthen policy research communities in regions where the Soros network is active, and to integrate the work of the fellows into the activities both of the Soros foundations network http://www.soros.org/ and the Central European University in Budapest http://www.ceu.hu/
