Fellowship

The limits of the possible are too often defined by the edges of conventional wisdom. This is the case in British public life, where short-term gains eclipse long-term vision. We are looking for individuals with intellectual curiosity and exceptional ability who aspire to become great public leaders and meaningfully improve society.

The Programme

The Fellowship is a unique year-long programme which has been designed to accommodate people in full-time work, offered at no cost to Fellows. Spanning three carefully structured terms of ten weeks each, the Fellowship convenes for discussion on a weekday evening in central London from September to July. These sessions are supplemented by two weekend retreats and an international field visit designed to broaden Fellows’ perspectives on leadership, policy, and political thinking.

During the year, you will discuss the most important moral, geopolitical, and governance issues of our time. Sessions will be led by subject area experts: philosophers, technologists, economists, former diplomats, politicians, and policymakers.

Who are we looking for?

Our ideal Fellow is in early-mid career. You may already be working in politics or public life, or aspire to pursue a public role after the end of the programme. If you’re a highly driven individual who desires to break Britain out of stagnation, then apply. It is easy to do so and the potential upside for you – and the country – is very high.

We can also arrange full-time, paid, London-based professional work placements in relevant organisations for a select number of applicants.

At the end of the Fellowship, participants will be paired up with a senior mentor already working in public life.
