Innovation + Incubation Fellowship
Highlights
- Fostering innovation and experimentation in the fields of data, design, technology, and policy to promote social impact.
- Advancing cutting-edge ideas by empowering and enabling practitioners and field experts to push the boundaries of civic technology.
The Innovation and Incubation (I+I) Fellowship is a dynamic program that invites experts from diverse fields into the Beeck Center to research and test innovative ideas at the forefront of civic technology.
The I+I Fellowship program is designed to advance human-centered solutions that make government services more accessible and equitable for those who need them most. Fellows are senior subject matter experts and practitioners in the fields of data, design, technology, and policy who join the Beeck Center team to publish research, document best practices, share lessons learned, and push the field forward with cutting-edge ideas.
I+I Fellowships span 12–24 months, providing the Beeck Center with a dedicated capacity to explore, experiment, and advance the ever-evolving field.
