The John G. Bene fellowship program is administered by IDRC and offered annually to graduate research students. Candidates should have an academic background that combines an interest in forests with social sciences (e.g., forestry, agroforestry, climate justice for women and Indigenous people, gender biodiversity, or ecosystems).
This fellowship is offered to facilitate field research on the relationship between forest resources and the social, economic, cultural and environmental welfare of people in the developing countries, particularly in the face of changing climate conditions. The proposed research should benefit less privileged people in developing countries, focusing on women and Indigenous people, aiming to increase the resilience of individuals and forest communities facing difficult contexts and challenges.
