Fellowship Scheme
The Overseas Development Institute also runs a fellowship scheme, which sends young postgraduate economists to work in the public sectors of developing countries in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific on two-year contracts. This has been running since 1963, has worked in over 30 countries, with over 850 economists going on into careers in development and other sectors. Participants were initially known as Overseas Development Institute Nuffield Fellows (ODINs) before later titled as ODI Fellows.

Famous quotes containing the words fellowship and/or scheme:
“And sometimes I remember days of old
When fellowship seemed not so far to seek,
And all the world and I seemed much less cold,
And at the rainbow’s foot lay surely gold,
And hope felt strong, and life itself not weak.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
“Your scheme must be the framework of the universe; all other schemes will soon be ruins.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
