Call for Applications: for Ethics and Technology Practitioner Fellowship, Application Deadline- 14 November 2025
Program Description
Moving forward from our inaugural-year pilot in 2024-2025, the Ethics and Technology Practitioner Fellowship will be continuing in 2026, welcoming an even larger cohort of 12-15 professionals who represent various domains of applied ethics in the development and deployment of technology. This is an opportunity for mid-career practitioners to build their leadership capabilities and receive flexible project funding to impact the trajectory of moral challenges and societal harms. Projects should spark new conversations challenging conventional understandings of issues in technology.
Operating on a non-residential basis, the program is scheduled to run from January 2026 to December 2026.
Throughout the Ethics and Technology Practitioner Fellowship program, practitioners will learn directly from Stanford faculty, visiting faculty, other fellows in the program, and mentors with extensive experience in the technology industry, civil society, and government.
For questions about the fellowship, contact ethicsandtech_practitioners@stanford.edu.
This program is made possible by Frank McCourt in association with Stanford’s partnership with the Project Liberty Institute.
