An exciting part of the ARK Ageing Programme is our Visiting Fellows Scheme. This Scheme allows us to invite appropriate experts to either Queen's University Belfast or University of Ulster for a two-week visiting fellowship, with the aim of sharing their insights and experience. In consultation with age sector organisations in Northern Ireland, we will identify potential Visiting Fellows whose research/practice is of particular interest to the Programme. Throughout the two-week fellowship, each Visiting Fellow will work with an NGO within the age sector in Northern Ireland, as well as meeting other interested groups. Each visiting fellow will be required to undertake the following: An academic seminar within Queen's University Belfast or University of Ulster. Meet with relevant NGOs in Northern Ireland. Meet with relevant policy makers in Northern Ireland. Deliver a short specialist course/workshop agreed in partnership with ARK and the age sector. Write a Research Update or Policy Brief (approximately 2,500 words) focusing on their particular expertise If you are interested in this scheme, either for yourself, or to suggest someone else, please contact Paula Devine by email p.devine@qub.ac.uk or phone 00 44 (0) 28 9097 3034.
