The Fellowship

A community broader than the councils

The TDGI Fellows bring together experts from government, international organizations, academia, industry and civil society. Each Expert Council focuses on one field. The fellowship is not tied to a single theme: Fellows contribute across the Institute’s work, adding expertise, regional perspectives and practical experience to its councils, convenings and publications.
