TED Fellows Program 2019

About the program

What are you looking for in a TED Fellow?

We are looking for individuals who have a proven track record of great work in their field and are on the brink of an incredible breakthrough, but need the extra support to get there. We are looking for individuals from all disciplines, and who have collaborative, kind personalities.

Why should I apply to be a Fellow?

The TED Fellowship program has the potential to catapult your career forward. By attending and speaking at the TED conference, you’ll be given a platform to share your work and ideas far and wide, and you’ll meet individuals who can help your career. As a Fellow, you’ll also join the powerful global network of TED Fellows – innovators who may be future collaborators. Fellows also have access to personal mentorship opportunities, public-relations guidance, speaker coaching and more.

How long does the Fellowship last?

While the Fellowship is centered around the annual TED conference, we like to say “Once a Fellow, always a Fellow.” As long as you want to stay engaged with the TED Fellows community, you can!

What are the terms of the Fellowship?

If you are selected the TED Fellows team will provide you with a terms and conditions agreement to be signed before your Fellowship begins.

Application requirements

Do applicants need to be a certain age?

All applicants must be 18 years or older by the time they apply.

If selected, what is the required time commitment as a Fellow?

Once selected as a Fellow, you must be available to speak with the TED Fellows team via videoconference for approximately ten hours (over the course of approximately three months) prior to the TED conference.

The central requirement of the TED Fellowship is that you are available to attend the TED conference in person, for the entire time. In addition to the main five days of the TED conference, all Fellows must participate in a three-day pre­-conference. This means you will be required to block off a total of eight consecutive days in your schedule.
