Programme Fellows
Contribute to the strategic development of the Programme by applying to become a Programme Fellow. We welcome applicants from industry, academia, and regulatory organisations.
Our funding will support reasonable travel, accommodation and subsistence expenses for visiting fellows to take up a one-month residency at the University of York.
, 513kb)The other thing that worked really well was the concept of the Programme Fellows, because it allowed people like me to come from industry and feel somehow intimately involved as part of the team. Basically, they've turned the usual model on its head. For me, I'd normally be paying the university to come and do work for me. It was a completely different type of approach and it’s been successful.
