Each year, CES welcomes policymakers, academics and journalists to come to the Center for a short period of time to share their experiences and take a break from their busy schedules while researching and advancing their work by leveraging Harvard's resources. John F. Kennedy Memorial Policy Fellows are German nationals who are supported by the John F. Kennedy Memorial Fellowship for these short stays.
