The Center for Media Research – Nepal (CMR-Nepal) has decided to close its fellowship program.

The program was initiated in 2013 with an aim to fulfil one of CMR-Nepal’s core objectives to conduct, support and promote researches on various aspects of media. In two years of operation, the program granted fellowships to nine researchers in two categories: the CMR-Nepal Research Fellowship to young researchers and CMR-Nepal Media Research Partnership to senior researchers.

“The CMR-Nepal will continue to support media-related researches by providing resources, but has decided to close down it’s annual fellowship program due to poor interest among young media researchers,” chair Tilak Pathak said.

The CMR-Nepal thanks all fellows, mentors and staffs who were involved in the program.
