Raphael Lemkin scholarship is intended to enable foreign students, who specialize in genocide studies, especially in the Armenian Genocide, to visit Armenia for a month to conduct research in local scientific institutions and libraries.
The Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute will provide researchers with the possibility to carry out their research at the AGMI, where they will be provided with necessary research materials and consultation, as well as in the universities, archives and libraries located in Armenia.
The scholarship suggests a visit of one postgraduate student per year. The AGMI covers all travel and accommodation expanses related to the nominee. The AGMI is planning to enlarge this scholarship program to promote the development of scholars specialized in the Armenian Genocide.
