The Asian Development Bank‘s Visiting Fellow Program provides an opportunity for researchers and academics to share their ongoing or recently completed economic research in ADB headquarters in Manila.

ADB accepts applications year-round, but selections will be made on a quarterly basis. Female applicants and applicants from ADB developing member countries are especially encouraged to apply.

The program offers visiting fellows the opportunity to:

– Give a presentation or lecture on a research topic that is of mutual interest and relevance to both ADB and the visiting fellow.

– Interact with staff from the Economic Research and Regional Cooperation Department (ERCD) and other departments to discuss fresh ideas or methodologies on the selected topic and to give advice on ongoing or future ERCD research; and

– Publish the research paper as an ADB Economics Working Paper, if desired.
