Fellow Project is an integral part of DKI APCSS’s long courses. It requires participants to undertake a project demonstrating their expertise by applying their acquired knowledge and skills. This process includes:
- Collaboration and Networking: Fellows work together and engage with faculty and experts, fostering relationships and mutual understanding.
- Perspective Sharing: Discussing local, national, and regional security challenges enhances networks and deepens understanding of a rules-based order and a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
- Research and Analysis: Fellows leverage their experience to research a specific topic, increasing situational awareness, creating viable options, and forming practical recommendations through critical thinking.
- Expand capacity for critical thinking
- Practice querying, dialogue, cooperation, and connecting with key stakeholders
- Hone inquiry skills for future work
- Produce outcomes of real-world value

Read the latest fellow’s project booklet to celebrate their achievements and discover how their work fosters a secure and prosperous region.
- Individual Fellow Project: Each fellow undertakes a project focusing on a specific challenge related to a policy, program, process, or practice. This project is completed independently, allowing the fellow to apply their unique insights and expertise.
- Cohort Project (Group Project): In this format, fellows collaborate on a group project. To participate in a Cohort Project, each fellow must be preselected by their respective country’s embassy and DKI APCSS. This collaborative approach encourages teamwork and leverages the diverse perspectives of the fellows involved.
* If your country wishes to send a team to work on a Cohort Project, inform the US Embassy, the DKI APCSS Recruiter (recruiter@apcss.org), and the Fellow Project Team (fellowsproject@dkiapcss.net).
