Hansen Leadership Institute: 2027 Programme

Description

The Hansen Leadership Institute will run its leadership programme from 29 June to 20 July 2027. It brings together young people with at least one completed year of university study to develop their capacity to work in an international environment. Attendance throughout the session is required: participants cannot arrive late or leave early. Applicants must be between 20 and 25 on 1 July 2027. Those who are no longer enrolled must have graduated in 2025 or 2026. Funding covers international airfare, accommodation, meals and programme activities, while passport costs and personal spending remain the participant's responsibility. International applications, including references, close on 15 January 2027 at 11:55 pm Pacific time. Academic referees receive a questionnaire that also assesses English proficiency. United States applicants have a separate 15 March deadline, so choose the correct application calendar. Selected fellows receive documentation to support the visa process after selection.
