As leading academics with expertise on the given theme of their Scientific Cycle, Fellows guide learning sessions on this subject at our Institutes of Engaged Leadership, equipping Scholars with a greater understanding of key issues and how leadership can address them. They also help train Scholars regarding other aspects of Engaged Leadership within and beyond academia, based on their specific skills and expertise.

NOTE: Due to the situation stemming from COVID-19, the format of forthcoming events will be adapted in accordance with national and local restrictions. Small in-person gatherings may take place, if conditions allow.

Visiting Fellows will also have the opportunity to participate in the Foundation’s events, including the Institutes of Engaged Leadership. Other benefits of the Fellowship include a generous grant and travel allowance, as well as eligibility to apply for Fulbright Canada alumni grants to take on community projects.
