About the Fellowship Program
The Palestine Space Institute (PSI) is preparing to launch the second round of its fellowship program, continuing our commitment to advancing critical research on space ethics, justice, and technology.
This upcoming six-month remote fellowship will provide selected fellows with the opportunity to explore one of PSI’s core research areas, with full details on topics and the application process to be announced soon.
As with our first edition, fellows will engage in independent research supported by PSI’s network of experts, producing outputs that contribute both to academic and public discussions on the peaceful, ethical, and sustainable use of outer space.
Fellows will be expected to produce a research report, a blog post for broader audiences, and a final presentation during the fellowship showcase. There will also be opportunities to connect this work to wider international platforms. The PSI team will provide guidance, resources, and feedback throughout the fellowship to ensure the success and impact of the research.
This fellowship is not just an opportunity to advance your career and expertise in space; it's a chance to make a tangible, positive impact on how humanity approaches space exploration. If this is something that excites you, we invite you to apply and join our community in shaping a future where space remains a domain for the betterment of all.
