The MUSSI Fellowship Scheme began in the 2019/2020 academic year and was designed to enhance the research community of the University by fostering collaboration between Maynooth University Social Sciences Institute Visiting Fellows and academic staff at Maynooth University. Fellowship recipients have the opportunity to engage with a vibrant research culture in the Institute (see www.maynoothuniversity/mussi ) and across the wider university, Dublin city area and the region.

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic some of our visitors stays at MUSSI were postponed due to restrictions on travel in both Ireland and in their home country. We are delighted we were still able to host almost all of the remaining fellows in 2022 and early 2023. We are hoping to continue to run this Fellowship scheme, keep an eye on our website and social media for the next open call.
