NSC is now accepting Visiting Fellowship applications from scholars of all ranks who wish to undertake research in two areas:
- Extra-regional linkages and networks: Focus on premodern maritime history, trade routes and economic links between Southeast Asia and China or India.
- Intra-regional linkages and networks: Focus on premodern flows of economic activity, power, language, culture and religion within the Southeast Asian region.
The Visiting Fellowship will be for one year, with a possibility for extension.
