Women and men with a passion for advancing agriculture and rural communities are invited to apply for Nuffield Ireland’s 2025 Scholarship programme before 30th August. The scholarship encourages the development of farmers and other agri-food professionals by opening the door to the exceptional global Nuffield network.
Awarding up to six scholarships per year, successful applicants will receive a bursary of €18,000 (increased to reflect rising travel costs) which will go some way to cover the cost of international research travel for a minimum of 11 weeks in an 18-month period. The selected scholars must complete a written report and present their findings at the Nuffield Ireland Annual Conference within 2 years of being awarded the scholarship.
HOW TO APPLY
Applicants must fill in a detailed application form, provide two references and come forward with a well thought-through research topic of their choosing. The topic should aim to help improve one or more aspects of the economic, social or environmental sustainability of Irish agri-food systems.
The selection process then shortlists applicants for a preliminary interview, with those who make it through facing a final interview. Between three and six scholars are selected per year, then they are introduced at annual Nuffield Ireland Conference, scheduled for Friday, 15th November.
