Fosterin Innovation in the Americas

For Latin America and the Caribbean, the challenge to create, implement, and sustain innovation in the public, private, and non-profit domains is a daunting one. The organizers will accept policy-relevant proposals that address key challenges to successful innovation ecosystems in the Americas.

  • Applicants must hold a valid passport and be able to obtain a J-1 visa. The Center welcomes applications from outstanding women and men from a wide variety of backgrounds, including academia, business, government, journalism, and other professions.
  • A command of spoken English is necessary since the Center encourages the exchange of ideas among its Fellows and with the broader Washington policy community.
