Get Involved

As a capacity building endeavour, we organize regular presentations/events/workshops exclusively for young scholars. NIAS GPYV provides an opportunity for young scholars to make presentations, publish their findings, and be a part of our GPYV Network.

NIAS Global Politics provides short-term (six weeks) and long term (six-ten months) internships for young scholars under its Area Studies programmes and Peace and Conflict Research. As part of this, scholars can work on their research, analytical, and presentation skills. They will also be presented with numerous networking opportunities.

NIAS Global Politics offers three major online courses on Contemporary International Relations and World Order, Contemporary Pakistan, and Contemporary Conflicts and Peace Research. These courses provide a comprehensive understanding within a structured framework, and help in developing a deeper understanding and appreciation towards the subject.

Join our International Studies Network Bangalore (ISNB) as individual scholars to get connected with our multiple networks on Area Studies, Peace and Conflicts, and Contemporary Global Issues including Maritime, S&T, Climate Change etc.
