Shuttleworth Fellowship
Who can apply
Anyone who has a plan for social change through innovation (fresh thinking that adds value) in the areas of education and technology. Anyone who has a clear vision of a changed (improved) world and their contribution to bringing about this change. The fellowship is not limited to any specific geographic location. However, applicants must be fluent in English. Fellowship applicants must have attained the age of majority by the date of application.
Which topics/disciplines
The Foundation does not have strictly defined areas of funding as we have found this restrictive as people do not always fit into boxes. Previous successful application have come from individuals working in the following areas:
Communication and Analytical Skills in Education
Intellectual Property Rights
Open and Collaborative Educational Resources
Telecommunications
Open Philanthropy
Open Science
The fellowship is not an academic fellowship aimed at research, although research is not excluded. Preference will be given to action based research or practical implementations of innovative ideas.
