TED Fellows Program 2020
Every year the TED Fellows program selects a new group of extraordinary, multidisciplinary individuals by open application.

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.
Why apply?
Since launching the TED Fellows program, some of the brightest, most ambitious thinkers, change-makers and culture-shakers from nearly every discipline and corner of the world were supported.
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.
