Bridging academic research and public sector practice.
The ANZSOG Academic Fellows Program strengthens the connection between academic research and public sector practice through knowledge exchange. The program brings leading scholars into ANZSOG’s work to contribute applied insight, support shared learning, and help shape agendas around current and emerging public sector knowledge needs across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
What are Academic Fellows?
Academic Fellows are leading scholars who collaborate with ANZSOG to support applied research, policy-relevant insight and knowledge exchange. Fellows engage with research findings alongside public sector professionals to build shared understanding and inform thinking on contemporary policy and governance issues.
The program includes both Resident Academic Fellows from ANZSOG partner universities and Visiting Academic Fellows from institutions worldwide, bringing diverse perspectives and expertise into ANZSOG’s work.
How the program works
Academic Fellows engage with ANZSOG through time-bound fellowships designed to be flexible and responsive to public sector priorities. Fellowships vary in length and format, allowing scholars to contribute in ways that reflect their expertise, availability and areas of focus.
Engagements may include applied research, knowledge exchange activities, practitioner engagement, thought leadership and collaborative learning initiatives. The program supports collaboration across disciplines, institutions and jurisdictions, with a strong focus on relevance to public sector practice.
