Every year, INK organizes the INK Conference in association with TED to bring together most fascinating thinkers and achievers of the world to encourage fresh and innovative ideas and knowledge. People who attend the conference come from different disciplines such as art, design, science, social entrepreneurship, sports and technology.
INK is currently inviting applications for 2011 INK Fellows program. The INK Fellows Program is an annual program that recruits 20 young innovators to attend the INK Conference and become members of the INK Community. INK Fellows are emerging leaders who have broken new ground in their fields and will contribute to and benefit from the INK Community.
The INK 2011 Conference will be held in Jaipur, India from December 8th to 11th, 2011. All INK Fellows receive a comprehensive scholarship to attend the 2011 INK Conference (that includes conference fees, airfare and hotel). Fellows give a talk on the Fellows stage or the conference main stage, which may be released online at inktalks.com. Fellows receive access to the ongoing support and resources of the INK community, which they can capitalize upon to incubate and develop their ideas. Fellows also become active members of that community who will support and proliferate the ideas of others.
Preference will be given to candidates:
– With a powerful vision for the world
– Who have taken tangible steps to fulfil this vision
– Who have demonstrated serious accomplishment at a young age
– Who the INK community can actively support in their career path
– Who will actively support and enrich the INK community
– Who are articulate and communicate succinctly
– Who have a compelling and inspiring story
Basic Guidelines:
– Candidates must be between the ages of 18 and 40.
– INK prefers Fellows to be representatives from young economies, yet great candidates from any location will be considered seriously and competitively.
– Candidates may be innovators specializing in any field, for example (but not limited to) art, architecture, technology, science and social enterprise.
INK will harness the interest of the attendees, sponsors and the elite business community to support and mentor Fellows. INK will make connections and provide the platform to launch the Fellows, and the Fellows will capitalize upon these opportunities and subsequently document their progress back to INK.
Deadline to apply: 15 September 2011
