General Information
DUSKE, the association of current and graduate Sylff fellows from the University of Deusto, is run by Lina Klemkaite (President), Bruno Kaimwa (Vice-President) and Eider Muniategi (Treasurer). This Duske association was launched on March 23 of 2009 aiming to build an active network of Sylff-fellows in order to support and promote the development of academic research and projects, between Sylff associations and within the framework of the SYLFF (The Ryoichi Sasakawa Young Leaders Fellowship Fund) programme. The SYLFF rogramme is inspired by the vision of the late Ryoichi Sasakawa, philanthropist and founding chairman of The Nippon Foundation that “The world is one family and all mankind are brothers and sisters.” The Program contributes to support the education of outstanding students pursuing graduate level study in the social sciences and humanities with high potential for leadership, by establishing endowments at selected institutions of higher learning throughout the world, providing a sustainable source of fellowships in perpetuity.
