Just got an email today about something I hadn’t heard of before, the Winston Churchill Fellowships. Set up by the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust these allow people to travel the world in order to “acquire knowledge and experience abroad”. They cover air fare, daily living, insurance, and travel, and must last for at least 4 weeks. With 1,500 applicants each year and 100 fellowships awarded, your odds aren’t bad at all.

If you’re interested you can view the categories here. I’m thinking of applying for one to go tour the postdoc associations of the United States for evidence of good practice….
