ICOS invitation to tender: 50th Anniversary of the Ireland Fellows Programme

50th Anniversary of the Ireland Fellows Programme

Purpose and Scope

2024 will mark the 50th anniversary of the Ireland Fellows Programme. Expert research and analysis of the Ireland Fellows Programme over the last 50 years is required to prepare material which will be presented in a booklet (approx. 60 pages), an exhibition (both online and in print), and a short film. These will capture, inter alia, the history of the Programme, the stories of its participants over the last 50 years, and the Programme’s impact.  The booklet, film and exhibition will be launched at an event in summer 2024 for Fellows and a number of Alumni, as well as at events in Ireland’s Embassies. The material will also be prepared for a presentation copy-style book of approximately 40,000 words.

The Ireland Fellows Programme is fully funded by the Irish Government under the auspices of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). The Irish Council for International Students (ICOS) supports the administration of the Ireland Fellows Programme in Ireland through the provision of a range of management services. ICOS is inviting applications to tender for this project in order to fulfil its service obligations to the Department of Foreign Affairs. Any contract arising from this competition will be between the successful tenderer and ICOS.
