For students, faculty, researchers and innovators who want to research, build and lead in Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Technologies — with structured training, mentorship and a clear path to leadership.
See what it means to research, innovate and lead as part of the AI & Quantum Fellowship community — a look inside the Young Innovator Program, and what it takes to go from curious student to confident innovator.
The Fellowship is built on three pillars that take a Fellow from learning to leading — from the classroom to the innovation ecosystem.
Future-ready learning in AI, Quantum Technologies, Research Methodology, Innovation, Leadership and Entrepreneurship.
Collaborative research projects, publications, patents, prototype development and technology commercialization.
Mentorship, incubation, industry partnerships, startup acceleration and investor readiness.
This Fellowship is built for two clear kinds of people. Join as a Fellow to research, build and publish alongside a national AI & Quantum community. Or step up as a Fellow of Fellows — an experienced leader who recruits, mentors and manages Fellows across an institution or region. Every Fellow receives:
Open to anyone ready to innovate, research and lead.
Every AI & Quantum Fellowship pairs a research domain with a management sub-subject — so Fellows graduate with deep subject expertise and the leadership, management and fundraising skills to turn research into real-world impact.
10 domains in AI & Quantum applied research
6 domains in governance, resilience & fundraising
5 domains in advocacy, culture & policy leadership
