In the midst of this global pandemic, the TED Fellows program is more committed than ever to finding and amplifying individuals making a vital impact in their communities and doing the work of future-making. Read on to learn how to apply, and how the TED Fellows program is meeting this moment.

Since launching the TED Fellows program, we’ve gotten to know and support some of the brightest, most ambitious thinkers, change-makers and culture-shakers from nearly every discipline and corner of the world.

Whether it’s discovering new galaxies, leading social movements or making waves in environmental conservation, with the support of TED, Fellows are dedicated to making the world a better place through their innovative work. And you could be one of them.

What happens when I’m chosen as a TED Fellow?

You become part of a diverse, collaborative and global community of more than 500 emerging and established experts.
You receive professional development through virtual workshops and webinars.
You gain valuable feedback from TED’s expert coaches on how to hone, express and communicate your work and your ideas.
You will give a TED Talk (at a virtual or live event, depending on the state of the global pandemic).
You’ll receive career coaching and mentorship from our team of professional coaches.
You’ll get public relations guidance and media training.
You’ll participate in virtual programming for TED Fellows.
You will have the opportunity to participate in and contribute to a thriving and connected global community.
You will get a possible invitation to attend the special TEDMonterey conference in Monterey, California. (Note: while we are currently planning on an in-person conference in Monterey [May 29–June 4, 2021], given the global pandemic this conference may be cancelled and the TED Fellowship may become entirely virtual. This will depend on expert advice and local health safety protocols.)
