Every year, from August to December, the Research Partnership Programme (RPP) provides five researchers from developing and transitional countries the opportunity to be research partners at the Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR).

The programme is funded by Danish International Development Assistance (Danida) and organised by the DIHR. It appeals to both junior (Master’s degree/equivalent) and senior researchers (PhD/equivalent).

The aim of the RPP is to:

• Strengthen research capacities in academic institutions in developing or transitional countries

• Upgrade and expand human rights expertise and documentation

• Consolidate DIHRs contacts with human rights research institutions and networks in partner countries

• Attract strong human rights research projects

Research Grants An RPP grant covers expenses in relation to accommodation, insurance and international flights. Moreover, research partners will receive a monthly stipend to cover living expenses in Denmark.
