Joint Research Project
Azerbaijan 2025: Strategic Outlook of the Country
The Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy (ADA) is launching a joint research fellowship program for the years of 2008-2010.
This project aims to create a model for Azerbaijan¹s sustainable development while researching its competitive advantage. It takes the year 2025 as a benchmark when country¹s major oil resources are expected to deplete. We plan to develop various scenarios attempting to examine the strategy which will shape Azerbaijan of that time. Scenarios considered as outcome of the project may be utilized for academic discussion and/or policy application.
Framework of the project includes, but is not limited to, five major fields of study that are considered vital for strategy formulation and building competitive advantage. ADA recognizes that there are other important issues and challenges deserving attention. However, due to the resource and time limitations, they are not included in this phase of the project. ADA will focus on five fields of study outlined in this call, but reserves the right to add to or amend existing list.
A potential candidate must have a PhD or equivalent in experience. Affiliation with a research/educationa l institution is NOT required.
Depending on their expressed commitment, ADA will grant competitive fellowships to selected candidates. Fellows are free to attract additional funding but with a prior consent of ADA.
Those who wish to apply must fill in the attached application form and submit it to ADA electronically at faliyev@ada. edu.az by August 31, 2008. Incomplete applications or those received after the deadline will not be considered. The results of the selection process will be announced by September 15, 2008.
Any further queries may be sent to Mr. Fuad Aliyev at: faliyev@ada. edu.az.
