Selection Procedure
The NDC Research Fellowship Selection Committee meets in the month of November each year, to review all the applications received. A staff member of NDC Research Division may even contact prospective candidates for further clarification of their applications before that date, but applicants should be aware that a final decision on their application will only be made at the Committee meeting in October. The Committee may select up to five candidates for fellowship positions in the following calendar year: two candidates from PfP, two from MD partner countries and one from ICI countries. Selected candidates will be notified in writing immediately thereafter and they will receive the latest version of the NDC Fellows' Manual to prepare themselves for their stay at the College in Rome. Due to the large number of applicants, only candidates selected for the Fellowships will be contacted.
Special Fellows and Fellowships
In completing the picture of fellows and fellowships at the NATO Defense College, a special category should be highlighted in the framework of the cooperation between NATO and the Russian Federation. In 2003 the NATO-Russia Council (NRC) decided to make two fellowships available each year for Russian citizens, for research specifically in the area of defence reform. Since the inception of the programme, four Russian military officers have conducted their research at the College.
