The Tech Policy Fellowship | The Tech Policy Fellowship will establish a <b> cohort of fellows</b> actively engaged for <b> one year</b>. The program will provide fellows with the intellectual freedom to define their own work focus within tech policy and fellows will define their own deliverables, including research, policy recommendations, convenings and workshops, public speaking, and publishing written pieces. | ||
<b>Events and convenings</b> are a key method for the success of the program, allowing fellows to communicate their research and findings into the network, and collaborate with network members. Fellows will leverage existing programs, for example by working with the MozFest team to bring deep policy expertise into the event through organizing policy-focused sessions and building the agency of the network to understand and influence developments at the policy level. | <b>Events and convenings</b> are a key method for the success of the program, allowing fellows to communicate their research and findings into the network, and collaborate with network members.
