Deadline: 28th January 2022 | Join the Breakthrough Institute’s young leaders initiative, through which they train and collaborate with the next generation of ecomodernist thinkers, writers, and scholars.
Breakthrough Generation fellows join their Berkeley offices for a summer and remain a permanent part of their network in the pursuit of pragmatic solutions to the world’s greatest challenges in the areas of energy, food and farming, human development, and the environment.
The first two weeks of the summer are dedicated to Breakthrough Bootcamp, an intellectual crash course involving intensive reading, writing, and an expert lecture series designed to provide a grounding in the broad-spectrum thinking that informs Breakthrough’s policy agenda. Topics covered include modernization theory, social psychology, aspirational politics and philosophy, economics and innovation policy, and technology policy.
For the remainder of the fellowship, fellows work in small teams divided between the program areas: Climate & Energy, Food & Farming, or Cities. Supervised by research staff, fellows produce policy white papers, reports, and memos. Previous projects have been featured in The New York Times, Newsweek, Time Magazine, the Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Harvard Law and Policy Journal, among others, as well as in Congressional testimony.
Who can apply?
Final-year undergraduates, college graduates, and postgraduates are eligible to apply for the fellowship. Fellowships are open to applicants from any country.
