Fellowship programme

Each year, we offer a limited number of positions to staff from central banks and supervisory authorities to participate in our fellowship programme. This programme gives fellows the opportunity to contribute to the FSI's policy implementation work.

A fellowship typically lasts around 90 days and is based at the BIS Head Office in Basel, Switzerland. Successful candidates are offered accommodation, reimbursement of travel costs and a monthly honorarium.

Selection process and criteria

The FSI typically approaches central banks and financial sector authorities bilaterally for fellows. Candidates are chosen based on their knowledge and experience vis-à-vis the Institute's planned policy implementation projects, particularly the specific FSI Insight topics planned for the year.
