Internet Society Fellowship Program: Explore Prerequisite Courses

Internet Society

About this opportunity

Prerequisite courses for the Internet Society Fellowship Program are available to explore.

The Internet Society Fellowship Program is a global initiative offering internet policy, connectivity, and safety/security-focused training and support for fellows to develop expertise and implement projects. Applicants must complete foundational and track-specific courses before applying, covering topics like Internet governance, encryption, community mobilization, and technical training. Fellows then engage in project implementation aligned with their chosen sub-track (e.g., Internet Policy, Community Mobilization, or Peering). The program includes expert sessions, events, and mentorship throughout the fellowship period, with opportunities to attend Internet Governance Forums (IGF), regional IGFs, and advocacy workshops. Projects focus on advocacy, policy engagement, technical capacity-building, or community-driven connectivity solutions across multiple categories, such as multistakeholder governance, open internet defense, or IXP development.⁠‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​⁠
