Philippines Tech Policy (PTP) Fellowship Application

Open Call for Philippines Technology Policy (PTP) Fellowship

The Philippines Technology Policy (PTP) Fellowship program is a 9-month hybrid, research-focused fellowship dedicated to development of a legal and policy framework that will stimulate innovation in the semiconductor sector while simultaneously complying with global standards on intellectual property protection, advancing enforcement capabilities, and ensuring compliance with international trade norms. The program is seeking applicants for a policy fellowship program focused on high-priority semiconductor technologies. For more details, please read through the application requirements. The Fellowship is a project of the Pacific Forum, a Honolulu-based foreign policy research institute focused on the Indo-Pacific. The Forum has a rich history of organizing fellowships for professionals in the foreign policy sphere. With the increasing interactions between foreign policy, technology, law and national security, the Forum has designed a fellowship that will address the emerging challenges at the nexus of these topics. Fellows will work with global mentors and access ongoing opportunities for professional growth in semiconductor technologies. The program develops policy analysts and practitioners at the intersection of technology and industrial policy. Fellows will perform in-depth, independent research on an area of semiconductor policy and receive mentorship from our policy experts.
Eligibility and How to Apply
