Between October 2024 and January 2025, they will have one-to-one meetings with experts, coaching sessions, and group workshops designed to help them make rapid progress on their chosen policy challenges.

Collectively over the period of their fellowship, they will meet over 100 leading engineers and interdisciplinary experts handpicked from the Academy’s UK and international networks.
The next round of Policy Fellowships is now open for applications and will close on 18 November. Successful applicants will start in April 2025.
