The Gender Equality Research Fellowship is a new programme of European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC), introduced in 2010. This programme will provide the opportunity for interested individual activists working at a local level to conduct research on gender equality issues that have been neglected up to now or on issues already researched, but looking at them through perspectives not yet explored.

Fellows are expected to come to Budapest for a period of 4 to 8 weeks for orientation and preparation of the research project and then travel back to the research location to conduct the research with the ongoing assistance of the ERRC. The Fellow will work closely with ERRC’s Women’s Rights and Equality Coordinator.
